In the small number of times or locations where there’s network congestion, you may notice reduced data speeds.
In the vast majority of times and places, you will notice little if any difference. After 50GB, you still get unlimited LTE data but may at times notice reduced speeds in areas with network congestion. It looks like you’ve used 48GB or more of data overall in this bill cycle. For instance for years T-mobile has horrible reception indoors because of the spectrum they had. There is only so much bandwidth that you can have over a given frequency, only certain frequencies are available to each carrier, and only certain frequencies are conducive to cellular transmissions. Of course that would be cost prohibitive. Theoretically, if you throw enough money at infrastructure, you can allow everyone to have truly unlimited bandwidth at the advertised rates wired. To be fair to wireless carriers, wireless is different than wired when it comes to bandwidth.
I've been a T-Mobile customer forever, but that kind of deception was really, really insulting. The MAC address thing seems compelling but I'm obviously not going to go around spoofing anything just because I got duped by my provider. Of course in the heat of all of this I asked myself that same question: "how does T-Mobile know?" Some of the suggestions here seem unlikely since I'm still able to get good speeds via the phone simultaneously while limited via computer. I had been on some grandfathered plan that had no such restriction, and by "upgrading" sacrificed my ability to tether without moving to a One Plus plan. It became immediately apparent what I'd signed up for in my "upgrade" the year prior. My phone itself reached these speeds via LTE. 25/mpbs, whereas in the past it was up around 40mbps up and down. I recently moved and while waiting for internet installation suddenly found my tethered rate went down to.
In fact, it was faster than work or home. In the past if I had an internet outage at home I'd switch to to tethered phone and have no drop in speed. It sounded too good to be true so I just kept asking if I'd lose anything. Last year I called T-Mobile for some relatively minor reason and then got into a conversation about this "upgrade" I could get that would knock my bill down $20 a month, provide option X, Y and Z.
