Customers can choose to disable it. Given data caps it might not be a bad thing to have it on.
Whether you think they are good or bad tmobile has had a massive impact on the cellphone industry. They were the first to remove subsidies which all the carriers copied. Now the carriers are copying their throttling model.
- shostack 10y agoYes, it is good at helping with data caps that carriers imposed. So you pay them extra for more bandwidth at a ridiculous rate or pay them for the "privilege" of getting higher quality video like T-Mobile. They win through higher fees both ways and consumers are once again screwed through artificial constraints and lack of competition.
