T-Mobile and Internet Throttling

[ericadawn16]

Does anyone have T-Mobile, a Samsung Galaxy and their limited, Throttled internet?

I was all set to order a new Samsung Galaxy 5 when T-Mobile informed me that they're ditching my current plan.

Instead of paying 60 dollars for unlimited weekend calling, unlimited internet period and texts that cost 40 cents a piece, I'll be paying 60-70 dollars for unlimited calling period, unlimited texts period and THROTTLED INTERNET!

If I want my unThrottled internet back, it'll be an additional 30 dollars a month.

So, would a Galaxy even be worth it under a throttled plan?

P.S. I can hear calls fine but the rest of the audio has just about died on my current phone. It's been staticy and raspy for months but I watched the Tom Hiddleston singing video from this weekend and now...it sounds like it has Laryngitis.

Never heard of throttled Internet on mobile. That seams very odd. I love my galaxy s5 but I've been with Verizon forever.

Don't. Switch carriers. The Samsung Galaxy is a good enough phone (but massive), but throttled internet is bullshit. Find a carrier that has a better plan to offer, then see if T-mobile is willing to match that offer. If not? Go for the carrier with the better plan. If they don't have a Samsung Galaxy, the HTC One is a comparable phone, little smaller, little cheaper (and they last forever. My last one was 7 years old before it stopped working properly).

I guess I have what you're talking about... I mean I have unlimited talk and text with 2.5gb of high speed internet before it slows to 500mb.

It works for me, but then again I don't spend every hour on my phone like I used to, just during my 30 minute lunch and the commute home on the train. Also, I do have a Samsung Galaxy III :)
