I thought they were suppose to lower their plans rates.

Good.
I'm sick of people whining about paying a "4G fee".

Fantastic... this is horrible news. I have 8 people on my plan. I guess no one is upgrading (except me because I already did ).

You could in fact be throttled. Did you recieve a text for T-Mobile about them slowing down you data for the rest of the cycle? Throttling is when T-Mobile slows down your data because you overused it, during your month cycle. Hell, I'm on a 5GB cap and I'm throttled. ): Guess you can complain to T-Mobile or wait it out.

Wow I did get a text like that wifi is good though right? Anyway thanks boss for the info

What do you guys use that makes you use 5GB in a month? I'm done with my month on the 23rd and have only used 1.01GB. I feel like I'm not using my phone to it's full potential lol

As much as you probably pay, id start using it. Hell watch some shows when you not busy or download some music or games or anything. Cause regardless of how much you use your still paying the same price.

Yes I get 3g, hspa+ speeds with no issues. In Seattle I get average download speeds arnd 2MBps since att network is not great where I stay. But I have hit around 5Mbps in Chicago airport while traveling.
If you want there is a thread in sgs2 forums about people's experience on media net plans and their speeds. For me I didn't see any speed difference between the media net plan and the att 4g plan speeds. So i'm happily using the one which costs less and get unlimited data in the process

I don't think they will...may be monitor and stay below 5 GB just to be safe .... I mostly use wifi at home and work so don't use that much data.

Just found this thread. It's helpful in my search.
FWIW, I USB tethered my Nokia 6700 Classic (which I didn't even know was capable of HSDPA until it launched). Signal used to be really good for it, but it started dropping like crazy. Thought it was the device, so I replaced it with another... same signal issues.
Anyway, I think I'm the reason why the signal is all crappy. In April, 2011, I did 800GB of data on my $20 Media Max unlimited data plan. AT&T never caught me. Until that month, I was doing between 10GB and 30GB each month.
Now, I'm looking for an affordable smartphone that is very much NON-AT&T so that I can continue to bend the rules and keep getting high speed internet.

Verizon data

I am currently in a 6gb share everything plan with 2 other phone and I wondering if there is anyway to change my plan to unlimited data

Pretty sure they dropped unlimited.

Yup. Unlimited doesn't exist anymore. When you upgrade you'll automatically be dropped down to a 2GB plan unless you specify a higher capacity.
I've heard rumors that unlimited will be back someday but Verizon has to beef up their infrastructure first. It'll be a while.

We have three people on a 10GB shared plan, and we average around 6GB of use in a normal month. We love having that 4GB buffer though, because we travel every few months and always use a lot more data when we are traveling.

This is why I refuse to use my update. Last month I used 44 gb. Mostly because I tether at work the entire time. Most I've ever used was 61 gb. Not sure if I could live without unlimited.

I have unlimited data and a unlimited tether plan also not giving it up.
Id rather pay full price for a phone.

T-Mobile or Verizon?

I would just like to get some feedback from T-Mobile users if they like the service they get. I'm currently with Verizon and just hate it. My wife and I are still under contract for about another year or so and I'm thinking of just paying the early termination fee and switching. Now I now coverage will vary depending on where you live but just want an overall view on your experiences with T-Mobile. Thanks

Tmobile/Wal-Mart plan for $30/month is amazing.

T-moblie is better than veraizon
Sent from my SGH-T769 using xda app-developers app

Unless you make six figures a year and have money to burn, go with T-Mobile

I left Verizon for TMO about 6 months ago. I'm definitely not Dissatisfied but it's definitely not an easy adjustment from LTE to HSPA+... Outside of the data speeds, I haven't hit a dead spot or dropped a call yet. YMMV.

Of use two I'd have to say T-Mobile FTW
We see you meow on our nexus⁴ can we haz some more?

Well I had verizon and I left them for sprint and it was the best move I ever made.

Verizon reliability and speed are great. But their Bloatware sucks and you can't remove it completely.
Tmo is very reasonable if you live in city. In rural areas you'll have problems. Speed is decent and phones don't have all the security bloatware like Vzw.
If you travel for business use Vzw. If you rarely leave town then its personal choice really

Thanks everyone. I don't travel so I'm probably going to get T-Mobile. I like that its cheaper and they don't lock their phones down. The only decision left to make is should I wait or buy my way out? Guess I'll have to see how much it costs.
