T-Mobile is going to be sued over this, I guarantee it. I'll do it myself if they start to throttle me. AT&T was successfully sued back from throttling their Unlimited Plans.
21 GB is a tremendous amount data. I think the most I've ever used in one month was ~6 GB.
I'm at 63GB this month and I have noticed no difference.
You're assuming that everyone will see the throttling at 21GB, which isn't the case. Only highly-congested areas will see this, though at that point, it may be hard to differentiate natural congestion and throttling.
It also sounds like an assumption on your part.

I use AT&T not Tmobile, but I will tell you that I prefer transparency instead of the top 5% of users approach. This way users can plan ahead.Right, if you think that way then they should sell all of their plans as unlimited and mention "Throttled after 1-3-5-21GB of usage"..
Guess what, they call the other ones 1-3-5GB plans but sell the 21GB as unlimited.. This is deceiving. And this type of acts are the reasons they make fun of the other companies..
And yes you don't get UNLIMITED 4G LTE, you get Unlimited data with only 21GB data with LTE speed, rest is useless, y'all know..
This is a trick, I don't like it.. And I don't like it who ever does that..
Exactly. It's like walking into a business that has a huge advertisement "Unlimited M&M's". After paying and eating a few handfuls the manager stops you and starts hurling them as projectiles one-by-one at your forehead and says "eat as many as you can catch!" Who'd have a problem with that?!
So this in effect is what data throttling is. And everyone knows it is not in the spirit of the advertisement or what the consumer thinks they are buying.

It IS a 21GB plan... ALL plans at TMO have a high speed cap depending on what you sign up for... I am on a 1GB plan myself (near wifi a lot of the time) but if I exceed 1GB, I get throttled. No extra fees, no lack of services - just a lot lot slower.Because it's not a 21GB data plan. It's still unlimited usage no matter how you look at it.
The difference between a 21GB soft cap and a regular cap is that pretty much the instant you go over a hard cap, you're throttled to 128Kbits; at least, that's what I've experienced. It sounds like going over the 21GB soft cap will only affect you on a congested network, and only to the degree necessary to contribute to decongesting the network.
I Had no idea they did that already, but they better have good content to sell also.They sell TV content through T-Mobile TV. Not sure why you'd really want to get those types of things through a carrier.
I find it's easy to go over 21GB each month and always do just by doing my every day normal things on my iPhone. I'm now at 70GB on this final day of my billing cycle. No sign of being throttled.I use the crap out of my unlimited plan including tether. With a couple days left im at 12GB. If not for tether would be like 9GB.
Can't imagine using much more than I do.
What exactly are these "everyday normal things" on the iPhone? The vast majority don't even come close to even half of 21 GB, let alone 70 GB doing "everyday normal things".I find it's easy to go over 21GB each month and always do just by doing my every day normal things on my iPhone.

I said I go over 21GB each month. That doesn't mean I hit 70GB each month.What exactly are these "everyday normal things" on the iPhone? The vast majority don't even come close to even half of 21 GB, let alone 70 GB doing "everyday normal things".
