I hear ya man, I was bummed when I found that out myself. Not sure if any developers will be able to get us around that.... other than that, I just run on wifi whenever possible.

So having the unlimited everything plans gives you 2gb full-speed access, whereas a regular plan and add-on of unlimited data gives you a 5gb full-speed limit. Hmm.. the way they run things is understandable from a business standpoint. Is unlimited everything a contract plan?

I'm curious to see how many people are really using more than 2GB a month and what it is that they're doing to get that high.

Because a lot of it sounds like whining just to whine

But 79.99 and my job discount and blazing fast speeds were amazing I'll love it I don't use hotspot as much for fear of being throttled...but push come shove I will drop down to 500anytime min and 5gb cap if need be

You can still get the higher throttle limit, it's just another $20 a month.

I forget, are you rooted? If so, you can try wifi tether from the market. Although, I guess that would eat up your 2 gigs pretty quickly..... and I was wondering if maybe that's partly what the data throttle is for, to cut down on the free tethering?

Tmobile and throttling speed

Yes.. I agree. It's in the contract you sign with Tmobile for unlimited data. Unlimited data yes, but not at the same speed for an unlimited amount of data per billing period.
If people are looking for unlimited amounts of data at a high speed per month (for video, audio, tethering, phone hot spots, etc) then there are plenty of other options outside of a mobile contract -- and for less money!
It sounds a lot like the common complaint of those who want something for next to nothing.. and complain when they can't get it.

All the mobile carriers cap the ?unlimited? amount of data speed per month at various levels.. and it?s reasonable to do so not only from a business perspective but in terms of ensuring all customers have adequate bandwidth.
Those that complain about this are more like those who camp out at McDonalds or Starbucks, order one coffee, and stay as long as they?re open to suck at the free wifi tit. Misuse and abuse, clear and simple.
To those that claim unlimited means ?absolutely unrestricted?, then the speeds received should also be those capable by the phone ? but they are not. They?re governed or throttled at the network side.
