so i got a 2g data plan a now i ran over 2g so now my internet slow as hell is there any way that i could make it faster until i pay the bill ?
Use wifi whenever you can. The 2gb cap is bulls#@t. I ran over my first month so started using wifi at my house and work or wherever I could get a signal and have been fine since.

Consider upgrading to their 5 or 10 gig plan... I had been sent a notice that I was approaching my "throttling" point, was on the 5 gig plan, called t-mobile and was told that there was a new rate plan that gave me 10 gigs of data. I did have to extend my contract but that didn't bother me because I only had my plan a couple of months. With the new plan, my wife still has 5 gigs and the total bill only increased ~$5 because the unlimited talk/text/web portion of my plan went down $20.

I'm a have to look into this myself. A 5gig plan would be nice. Thanks.

Is there a throlling for T-Mobile unlimited data plan? I remember reading it somewhere that it is 2GB while other places says it's 5 GB?
Yes they throttle u after 5gb..they throttle me every month but I really don't see a difference in speed..!!!

Hey gang, new TB owner here, previously a AT&T customer for 7+ years. With my Inspire it was nearly impossible to get to 5GB of data because my data speeds were dreadful so I mostly stayed on WiFi. With the TB I get insane speeds and I use 4G a "decent" amount but switch to WiFi when I'm home. I'm on day 19 of my billing cycle and have already used 6GB, WTF!!! I didn't see that coming. What are you guys averaging a month? I know we have unlimted data but don't want to draw any attention to myself.
Running BAMF 1.7 Stripped (not that it matters).
I'm on a revolution, got it on day 1. In the 11 days I had it for that billing cycle that ended the 6th I used 12gb with generous 4g and upto now now I've used 14gb so far with the same usage, I know what you mean lol

I used 21 gigs and I am 24 days in my bill cycle...the only reason its that high is because I was running netflix on the wii for two day straight non stop
ISP's need to understand that data caps will cripple online services like netflix, dropbox, etc.
I hope VZW comes to their senses and lifts data caps.

Am at 1.8 GB on day 7 of billing cycle. Runrate for about 8 GB in 30 days. With LTE being faster than most people's WIFI, I don't think you are alone...
6gb isn't too much actually compared to others. No worry Verizon isn't really into throttling everyones service contrary to the belief of some Verizon really is interested in keeping their costumers happy.
I hit 5gb before the billing rolled over. Iy happens when you download 10 Roms a month and stream music and video.
Cool. Glad to I'm not alone, when average over 20mb dl its easy to rip through data. LTE is the truth!

I envy you all. No LTE here in Wahiawa, Hawaii. I'd like to take advantage of the hotspot feature with LTE one day. 3g hotspot doesn't make any sense due to have cable internet.
With the 3g I do about 2gb/month.
Absolutely! Last month I had somewhere about 80gb of usage for the cycle. It's easy on 4G. Too easy.

That's exactly what they want, so they can sell their own services. ISPs are scared of being nothing but "dumb pipes."

The most I use is just around 1GB of traffic. What are you guys d/ling??
I'm at 15GB on day 27 of my billing cycle with only 3G where I live. All of Battlestar Gallactica on Netflix for Android and a good chunk of Farscape will do that I guess
im 7 days into my billing cycle and im at 2.5GBs............................. just got 4G going 3 days ago so i've been going nuts
Just wondering if anyone can help me out with any tweaks to beat this damn 60kbps throttle from tmobile. I have tried the patch that was created for the froyo roms but it didn't work for me. Any information would be greatly appreciated please PM me. Its best the information isn't posted publicly due to the brown nosing tmobile turds that troll these forums. Thanks in advance.

There is no way around the cap. It is done of T-Mobiles servers and linked to your SIM card. Many people have tried to get around it without any luck.

I can dig what you're saying but I'd like to think of it as being resourceful rather than cheap. After all it is android, several exploits and loopholes exist for other devices already. Ill keep fishing and maybe I can figure it out. Maybe IP/MAC spoofing would work to avoid the asshats at T-Mobile.

thats what i did lol theres your throttle fix.
It's not a work-around to the T-Mobile cap exactly. But by fine tuning when and how your installed apps use data, can keep you under the cap. For example instead of streaming podcast with Mediafly I installed DogCatcher. I set the download permissions for the application to only update when connected to WiFi and plugged in.
That alone has cut my data usage in half. Fine tuning other settings in apps like email, facebook and twitter have also cut down my data usage. I went from always bumping the data cap to moving to the next lowest data rate plan.
Something to consider!

im not being cheap at all!! but is it possible i can up to the 10GB/ month? i just started a 2 yr contract 2 months ago and i get capped everymonth so far to 56k speeds...i pay 100 dollars a month and i think thats alot already! thats no fun when i dont get access to wifi everywhete like most of you.
If you change your phone number & get a new SIM chip it resets yer data usage. Setup google voice, get 5GIG plan - wait 2 weeks & spend $15 to have phone number changed and get another 5Gig. Two more weeks, billing cycle starts over, another 5GIG. Wait 2 more weeks and change phone number again - 5 more gig. Repeat every month. If you use google voice then everyone will still have your phone number. I think to get the 10gig plan it's 30 bucks so this saves you 15 bucks a month. Of course its also a huge pain in the ass for 15 bucks.
Lol that's actually pretty damn clever. A huge undertaking, but still clever. Well done.

Sprint is unlimited and true they don't throttle - HOWEVER what they do is kick you off the network and cancel your contract if you use "too much" data. Happened to me a year or two ago.
Well regardless, I'm satisfied with the new beast. And still have the G2X on the side to play around with.

No it's LTE look at the last thing on the add "all on Canada's first lte network" I also had to get a new lte sim back in march when I got my I727R and if on 16th when my plan changes over (billing cycle) I loose lte and only get H or um bands I'm going to go postal on them.

I guess, still to much for no voice almost., and you can call Canada but you can travel roaming free in Canada.
Compare to this: this is my skyrocket plan:
Unlimited Voice anywhere in Canada - free long distance to USA/Canada
Unlimited International/North America SMS/MMS
10G of Data (also share it whit tablet + $12)
Visual Voice, Call Display + the usual
TOTAL with TAX = $85
Also know a great way to get a deal on rogers cable: Hi-Speed Express, 300G limit $60.
PM me if you have Q's.
I got the plan myself. My old plan i paid the same however i didn't have my 10 or lte. Now I have lte with 6 gigs without paying more which I am happy about.

I have to say few months ago I would say its crazy cheap, but lately we had some kind of cellular revolution and now you can get unlimited calls,texts and data for around 30$ a month after 3gigs you may get throttled and we don't have 4th gen but still.

Im wondering the same thing. I'm not sure if wed have to renew our contract to get unlimited as with T-Mobile every time you add something or change it it Renews. Hopefully I'm wrong and they just lift the throttling without need to call.

I was thinking of switching to Sprint when my contract was up, but now there isn't much of a point. I think I still will to try out the service and see how data speeds compareto T-Mobile in my area.
They give me a deal on 2 GSIII and I add a line. And I will.

And I just dropped TMobile for straight talk. Still running on the same network. Maybe they will match data usage policy because straight talk's spring based phones have unlimited data.
