T-Mobile Crappie 4g Throttle On HSPA or 2G - T-Mobile HTC One (M7)

T-Mobile $60.00 2.5gb is Super Slow when they throttle you to 2G ... It's useless.

You should have hopped on unthrottled unlimited data last summer when you had the chance

You can still change just go to your myaccount on tmobile's website. It lets me have the option of changing my 5gb with tethering to unlimited no tethering.

Hi guys. I didn't want to make a new thread but I am currently on Verizon unlimited data and I want to open a account with T Mobile for a 2nd phone. I'm just unsure if they throttle you or not or is it truely unlimited? If they offer unthrottled unlimited how much does it cost a month? Thx

I came from Verizon too with unlimited data. So far it's been almost a month now and it's truly unlimited. I'm still using the mobile hotspot and I'm getting at least 15-20mbps. I just checked my data and wasted 18gb. Most of the time I'm using the native mobile hotspot. My backup is WiFi tether.
My plan is unlimited. $50+20
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

Thx. So its $70 for unlimited 4g data? Sounds good. I'm paying $63/month for grandfathered unlimited Verizon data now but I want to be prepared when they do try and get rid of me. Might have to get a T-Mobile account.

at&t is not blocking the 1700 radio frequency, they don't use it, Tmobile wanted to use a different frequency than everybody else , go figure that one out!
I love my note and get awesome speed in at&t, except with the seraphim rom, not sure why.

Why don't you just flash the UCLA modem? On every 4.0.3 ROM I've been on I'd always flash it because the ICS one is terrible for me.

I would love to know why that is too. After the iPhone made its way to Verizon, I thought at&t would have been in a really tough spot.
I stick with att because I have multiple phones and love the ease of switching between them with just a Sim card (GSM) . Also I like having the option of using unlocked international phones that ATT does not offer.
att sucks, but so does verizon

AT&T is great when you're in an area that doesn't offer LTE. Their HSPA+ puts Verizons 3G to shame. Only reason I don't have T-Mobile is because I didn't get great reception at home. Swapping phones at will is nice as well.
I am using my note on tmobile and I'm getting great speeds on it. Throughout he day I usually get 6-10mbs download speeds. Sometimes I peak at 12mbs. The upload isn't great. I usually got 1-3mbs on my t989 but only around 100-500kb on the note. No biggie. Still fast for me. Only problem is it hangs occasionally and I have to toggle it on and off to get it working. I'm looking for a workaround for that.

I agree. I think his post was being sarcastic.
Upload is always way slower than download speeds.
Wish I got those speeds.
Verizon is going to have 4G in my area by the end of the summer. Looking at another two years before Sprint 4G comes to my area.
So the the ultimate question is, how much do I like unlimited data?
One thing I know is, if Sprint pulls unlimited data after it acquires a network I am going to be more than upset. If I sit here for the next couple of years getting 50-300kbps average, while I could be getting 10 times that on big red, only to see Sprint say, "Okay, we have a network comparable to the other carriers, here's tiered data..." Somehow, I think that's there plan.

4G ... What do you use it for?

The only time I can use 4G is when I'm at work; which is on a Verizon repeater which limits and distributes equal bandwidth to all users.
So all I use it for is netflix, skype, youtube, and to download ROMs.
What does everyone use their 4G for?
How much GB/month do y'all people average?
I get worried about them seeing how much I use during some months

Just for some downloads and youtube. Otherwise I don't find it necessary at all.
I use it because it is fast.
Why suffer through 3g when you have 4g?
I always use it whenever it is available, I don't see a reason not to. I usally get 5-40Mb/s down on 4G, and 1-3 Mb/s down on 3G.
I usually average about 12-15 GB a month.
Pr0n. Lots and lots of Pr0n. lol
Srsly though. i WOULD like to use it for netflix (at least 10-16 movies a month) but i cannot because i am capped with 4 gigs.
cant use pandora anymore because thee amount of music i listen to (added up monthly) would well surpass 4 gigs. so really i cannot see the point in 4G other than a couple youtube vidz and web text browsing. Just sayin! dont get me wrong, The faster the better. its like getting a tablet with 3G or 4G service and your plan is capped to 2 gigs a month. so whats the point?
4g isn't fun if your not on unlimited anymore. I only had 4 GB a month and used it up in 2 days. So I switched lines with my gf cause she barely uses 100mb.

But at the same time this happens:
I dont know whats up but here is some extra info.
My parents cut me off of texting calling and data back in feburary. I saved up and got this phone full price. While at the verizon store buying this phone I mentioned I didnt have data. The guy activating my phone pulled out my new sim and typed a bunch of stuff in for a few minutes and put it in my phone and handed it to me. When I tried signing into gmail, 4g worked. Before my parents cut my data off I had unlimited. While I was cut off my family changed to shared. Could the guy at the verizon store have done something letting me have unlimited or shared with no tethering?

im guessing when your parents cut off the data, they took off the unlimited and made a family shared data plan. and to get hotspot, you have to pay extra for that, unless your rooted

Share everything includes hotspot that takes data from your shared pool.

Call Verizon and tell them you have a shared data plan and to activate the Hotspot. It should work by default.

He shouldn't need that since he's on a shared data plan. That would be nice if he had unlimited data.

The odd thing is that I may be on unlimited individually or something but on shared as a family. My data is still counted on the shared data pool but I dont get tethering.

Only way to really find out is dial *611 on your phone and click the call Verizon option and ask them and find out what plan you have. If your on unlimited data or shared data. If shared tell them the hotspot doesn't work.

That...isn't...possible. You can't be both unlimited and shared. You can't be individual plan and be family shared.

Dude you could have had this resolved ages ago by just dialing *611 then selecting call Verizon on the bottom on the list. They can FIX this issue you are having and ONLY them. You must be handicapped or something to not have called Verizon already. This is all based off the picture you posed. Based off your picture you posted you have 6GB of SHARED data which means FREE Hot Spot access.
