Just as a word of caution buried in the fine print at least last year was to not use it on another mobile network. I logged into Mlb.tv on my Verizon work phone and Mlb suspended my account.
Got a tip for us?

Heh, you must have gotten a better customer service rep than I, or at least a more pro-customer one. A whole lot of back-and-forth during my experience was mostly just "nope" coming from their side.
I switched from Verizon which I had for over 10 years to T-Mobile about a year ago and I am so much more happy with them over Verizon. There is a reason why they are on fire right now. I have 3 devices all unlimited everything for $125 a month including taxes. I'm about 15 miles outside of Rochester, NY in a small suburb and my speeds are between 70 to 115 mbps down and 25 to 35 mbps up. My service has worked every place I've needed it and the speeds are so fast that I even canceled my cable internet and I am using one of the sim cards in a hotspot that's on 24/7 using around 200 gigs a month with zero problems. So I have 2 unlimited phones and high speed internet for $125 total a month including taxes and fees. Definitely no down side!
The hoops whereby if you've already been charged (on Feb 28 this year, for me) cancelling does not automatically issue a refund, and you have to deal with customer service (who, in my case, also feed you misinformation about whether you can then relink the promo account to your site account, and whether a refund will be pro-rated since technically you're already weeks into your subscription). Sounds like things have since improved though, fortunately.
The Dodgers haven't been worth a hoot since they left Brooklyn.

With the T-Mobile One plan it says, "Video typically streams at DVD quality (480p)." Does that apply to the MLB broadcast? If so, that would keep me away.
Ah I understand now. Yea, cancelling and getting a refund after the fact is always a challenge. Not just MLB, every service pretty much.
I try to cancel auto-renew immediately upon signing up to any service where it is applicable. I think it's a solid "best practice" when dealing with pre-paid subscription services in general. As you said, MLB doesn't turn off your service if you cancel auto-renew, it just doesn't auto-renew the next year.
It sounds like it may just be included with whatever they'll charge monthly for their OTT service.

Yeah, T-Mobile’s customer support people seem to be just as bad as AT&T’s and Verizon’s (I’ve dealt with all three, over the years).
For me the downside was when I was on AT&T. I could not get service anywhere in my neighborhood and still can't today. T-Mobile is the only carrier that is able to do this simple thing considering I am in Denver Colorado. I love T-Mobile.
I've got a spring training game playing on my iPad right now, thanks to T-Mobile!
(Okay, I would otherwise still pay for MLB.tv, but...)

Enjoying day one of the MLB streaming. I also redeemed the 25% off MLB store coupon to get a jersey. The MLB store redemption ends tomorrow.
For those who haven't redeemed the MLB offer, Monday is the last day to redeem.
Sure is nice having a VPN, so that I don't have to worry about dealing with any blackout games.
Really enjoying all the coverage of the new season. Makes me want to get out Ken Burns: Baseball.
