T-Mobile Bumps 'Unlimited' Throttling Ceiling From 32GB to 50GB T-Mobile will be bumping the throttling threshold for the company's "unlimited" data plans from 32 GB per month -- to 50 GB per month. The news was first revealed courtesy of an internal document obtained by Android Central. T-Mobile support seemed to confirm the move on Twitter before the Tweet was deleted, and T-Mobile has yet to formally confirm the change. If true, moving forward, heavier users in more congested areas may find their speeds reduced for the remainder of their billing cycles once they exceed 50 GB of data per month. T-Mobile has spent the last few weeks mocking Verizon's announcement it would be heavily throttling video and banning all 4K streaming from the Verizon Wireless network. Update: T-Mobile has confirmed the move in a : T-Mobile has confirmed the move in a formal press release

Now those T-Mo, Sprint merger talks, make me nervous, being a very happy T-Mo customer still having flashbacks of a Sprint nightmare. Ostracus

Henderson, KY 5 recommendations Ostracus Member What's in a name. Whew! Glad someone put "unlimited" in quotes before someone got the wrong idea, although I'm still tickled pink that my phone card has "unlimited" talking and texting. Someone should do something about that.

No coverage in Lincoln Tunnel where you could in theory sit for over an hour? Verizon works.



Going to Arizona? Good luck outside of big cities! That entire state is roaming on 2G and you can't make phone calls. Verizon works.



30GB, 50GB, no cap at all won't magically make the service work in areas where it does not not currently.



Also, if you think their network is invisible to limitations, slowness, etc. You are mistaken! brianiscool

Allen, TX 2 recommendations txfeinbergs Member Tethering limit increasing also? That is what I would need to switch from their simple choice plan to the expensive all in one plan i.e. if they bump tethering up from 10GB to 20GB I would switch over the whole family. Right now we are grandfathered in the Simple Choice plan that costs about half as much as the new plans.
