OK, so let me get this straight. If I connected my smartphone to my laptop, and used the smartphone to download a 1 GB file, and then transferred it to the PC over a USB cable, that would count against a 21 GB limit. But if I downloaded the file directly on the PC instead using the same connection, that would count against a different 7 GB limit, even though the same amount of data is being transferred in the same way across the same network?
I can't wrap my head around this. How could it possibly matter which device is using the bandwidth?

I mean yea, sure, I agree. So I guess I'll show them by switching to... oh. FUCK.

I have the 3 GB plan and use wifi almost all the time. How does one steal data when T-mo cap's your data.

By agreeing to something in your contract, and then violating those terms.

I would like to know how to bypass t-mobiles data throttle, When I reach my 3 GB unlimited plan they throttle my service down to like dial up. Please tell us how to get around the data throttleing.

How the mighty have fallen.
Now they're just a Sprint with more device options.

Legere should return his stolen copies of Sprint's business strategy first.

Hahahaha! Oh! I've argued for years with TMobile fanboys who said "see they are the best because" (insert bs here about TMobile)
They vilified AT&T for similar practices. And whined on and on. Wonder how they feel now!
Fact is - mobile networks are expensive and telcos have to show a positive return to investors - otherwise - despite huge current cash flows - the money will run dry. TMo has spent through the billions gotten when the FCC declined the AT&T acquisition and now they are feeling the pain of their unsustainable pricing practices.
Eat it Legere

If I am not mistaken, Pandora does not count towards the data capped plans on Tmobile, assuming you have Tmobile.
