    t-mobile throttling

    Why are people stating unlimited data does not include high speed? So easily we forget what was advertised over two years ago. "Truly unlimited high speed data. Watch as much video as you want without slowing down." Our collective short attention span is screwing ourselves. Those of us who switched to this amazing plan, expect to continue receiving what we are still paying for. Many also forget the fine print stating deprioritizing after 21 gigs of use was added THIS SUMMER, NOT WHEN WE PURCHASED OUR PLAN. Please people, get your facts straight and stop sticking up for corporations that are doing illegal business. If any of us tried to get away with this bullshit, we'd be locked up.

    T-Mobile throttling

    Excellent writing about T-Mobile, but don't think for a minute that advertising a truly unlimited plan and being paid for that plan, in my case, over two years, then not providing the service and collecting the same fee is legal. It is not, and no amount of word games can change that reality. Throttling is happening after 21 gigs and the service for Internet practically dies. This CEO is obsessed with a few talented hackers, calling them greedy. Who's the greedy one. This corporate nonsense, lies, false advertising, is simply proving how gullible people are and that they don't believe they deserve any better. News flash: if you pay for a service you deserve that service, not something you were never offered in the first place. The FCC is aware and it's only a matter of time before t-mobile is served and in front of lawyers and hopefully a judge. In the meantime I hope the hackers let their secrets out and teach layman how to win. Then at least we will all be on an equal dishonest playing field. What does t-mobile CEO think?? He's a thief just like many corporate officers. Not to worry, payback is a bitch. I'll intend to watch and enjoy the show.
