T-Mobile to offer unlimited data, without throttling

While T-Mobile has always offered unlimited data, it has never truly been 'unlimited' as customers with 3G and 4G phones began seeing 2G/EDGE speeds once they reached the 2GB plateau.Today, the carrier has moved away from the throttling; as long as you pay a little extra.The company has introduced its "Unlimited Nationwide 4G Data," add-on for customers, costing $20 for customers on "Value" plans and $30 for those who are not.One large catch, however, is Hotspot is removed for unlimited users. The pricing is "not promotional," says T-Mobile, meaning it will likely be around until next year when the carrier unveils its 4G LTE network.As of September 5th (when the plans go live), a truly unlimited voice, text and data plan will cost $90 per month, compared to $110 at Verizon and AT&T (for 4GB capped) and $110 on Sprint, which offers fully unlimited, as well, but with terrible data speeds.Permalink | Comments
