Tell that to the guy that ran a $10,000 ad in the WSJ because he still had 6Mbit DSL from AT&T in a ritzy LA neighborhood. They then installed FTTH the following week…

T-Mobile Unveils Magenta MAX Smartphone Plan With Truly Unlimited 5G and LTE

But you’re complaining about T-Mobile’s network despite T-Mobile owning the very network you’re using 😂
A carrie, that in 2019, you couldn’t even use data and voice at the same time.
that is some devotion. Honestly and truly
Oh wow... flashback.
I remember those commercials... "you can't talk and surf at the same time?!?!?"
Why would I need data and voice at the same time?
As AT&T showed in their advertisements, people who need both likely aren't good planners.
Besides, being able to understand the person on the other end is better than having to message everything because of distorted T-Mobile calls.
T-Mobile is now offering a Max plan for the 55+ crowd as well.
"A new Magenta Max Unlimited 55 plan, available now, gives customers 55 and older two lines for $90 – $45 per line per month with autopay, taxes and fees included. The new plan includes unlimited 5G and 4G premium data, 40 Gigabytes of hotspot data, 4K video streaming, and free Netflix for each line."

I’m sorry that’s the most ludicrous thing I’ve read someone say on macrjmors.
it has nothing to do with being a good planner.
just yesterday, I was talking to my roommate who called me to ask me to check and see if a product was in stock at the store.
with art/T-Mobile/Verizon, I can just fire up the browser while talking still and MULTITASK AKA the the thing smartphones are meant to do.
with sprint, I’d have to hang up first, search and then call back.
2. I call an Uber/Lyft.....I want to talk to my boyfriend while I’m waiting outside by myself.
with att/Verizon/T-Mobile, the app will continue updating and informing me.
with sprint, it won’t update to let you know the distance or if anything changes while you’re talking.
3. someone sends me a photo or email for work call.
sprint, I’d have to disconnect the call to get the email or mms
4. I make dinner plans all the time with family and friends as we are talking and I do my research while talking.
that has nothing to do about poor planning and everything to do with the fact sprint was a horrible carrier and poorly implemented.
End of.
Sprint is now using T-Mobile network lol. For nearly a year now. What are you talking about?
Did you like those historical cellular plans where you'd pay -overage- fees of $15/gig or $25/300MB depending on your plan?
Where you'd buy into the 3, 5, or 10 gig plan, even if you didn't need the extra data, so you wouldn't worry about the overage?
Hell no you don't.
I get the technical accuracy you want. But dying on that hill means paying data you don't need, paying overage fees, or -hard- no data cut offs. That compromise of throttled data, IMO, is far better then the previous structure.
No, you don't have to tell me that the unlimited data structure which preceded the tiered plans is the best. They were absolutely introduced because of greed from dumb and dumber and they knew you had no recourse.
At the same time though, I don't think there is disagreement that the 3g / 4g cellular infrastructure of that day would have collapsed if everyone was allowed to keep *and actually use* the unlimited amounts of data on their unlimited data plans.
We're only just getting to the point where they can offer home internet over Cellular.
K.
I'm not the first person to question the use of the word "unlimited" with regards to data plans. And I won't be the last.
But yes... I agree that having throttled data is better than paying outrageous overage charges. Happy?
And now T-Mobile is claiming that they won't throttle at all with this new plan. Great! But I wonder how long that'll last before it gets abused... and they have to switch up the plans again and insert some, cough, limits?
It will be interesting to see!
