T-Mobile switches users to pricier plans and tells them it’s not a price hike::T-Mobile: “We are not raising the price… we are moving you to a newer plan.”

    I think this experience might be region-dependant. I’m in a major city on Mint and I routinely see 900Mbps+ down and never have any issues with streaming. I think the lowest speed test I ever saw was around 200Mbps.

      In my city 90% of the time it’s perfectly fine. Then there are a few dead spots in the t mobile network that are really frustrating and I’m usually in those spots once a week.

      Then I visited some family in Colorado and it was awful and my phone was essentially useless without Wi-Fi. T mobiles network is very hit or miss but no way am I paying $70 / month or whether the going rate for Verizon, etc.

        but no way am I paying $70

        This has always been my point when people ask about performance. I’m usually on wifi anyway and I’ve only found dead zones at the bottom of rural valleys and inside actual caves, but even if it was five times worse than it is, it’s not worth having to pay five times more for me. I just don’t need mobile data that critically all the time, and I do have reliable data almost everywhere. Plus, the networks are all still growing and improving, and Americans don’t seem to understand how much more expensive and under-developed most of the US mobile networks are compared to many parts of Europe and Asia, to say nothing of our ISP situation.
