I don't use that much data on my plan but I do use quite a bit. Thankfully I slipped in before AT&T put those ridiculous limits on their data access.

Yup Tmobile is awesome for stuff like that. Your data does have a 10GB limit before they slow it down so another month or two like that and you are bound to receive a letter.

I would keep it to 9500MBs a month.

Yeah, I <3 T-Mobile too! Been with them for 10 years now! And I just bought my first real smartphone! Going from a jailbroken Cingular 8125 to the Vibrant! :laugh: Thats a big jump for me!

Well you see the data is unlimited, but the speed in which you get it isn't.

Eventually they slow you down to the point where you can't stream much and you can barely load a web page. But your apps data needs are met.

Either way, it's wrong.

If you pay for unlimited data, you should get unlimited data.

NO one could ever use the 10GB cap with out doing something funky to there phone. Regular phone use won't result in numbers that PMQ posted. 99% of people never reach 10GBs. And yeah, I agree. It sucks.

Again, yes your data is unlimited.
Next time you walk into a mobile carriers store ask for the Unlimited Data and Speed plan. TMobile slows you down, other carriers charge $.10 a MB once you reach that 10GB cap.

But even when my brothers speed was cut in half he was still pulling 1.2Mbs+ speeds. That is faster than many people's home ISP speeds.

Actually, if you were to watch Youtube HD or Hulu on the phone constantly you could break 10GB a month.

It really sucks because they advertise a ton of features that Android devices can use, but if you use them too much the service provider cripples your device!

I wan over 10gb twice with my Droid watching video streams. If I got Hulu+ I'd probably break that about 6 months out of the year. I'm also almost constantly streaming either last.fm, pandora, or a shoutcast station, so that adds up as well.

For the record, your "unlimited" data at home on your landline isn't either. Comcast and Verizon (DSL, I don't know about FiOS) both cut you off around 250. I have no problem with them imposing some limits, but using the word unlimited and then doing so just irks me.

I don't think that is the case for those with FiOS. I have FiOS and I am obviously over 250GBs but my speeds haven't changed. I a have 25 down / 25 up connection.

Oddly enough right before the est I was torreting (uploading) at 1.5MBs which is faster than 9.34Mbs so IDK why my upload numbers are what they are.

EDIT:
Just noticed that I went over 300GBs of data in 4 days... Damn!

You can't use the windows status utility to measure your real throughput. You need to use Tomato or DDWRT on your router with the bandwidth monitoring utility. This will show your per day usage.
