I was messing around on the my Verizon app just now and I just upgraded from a 5 gig plan to a 10 gig plan for the same price. I was under the impression that it was only for 2 to 4 gig. Sweet!

They're offering double data for any tier at the same price.
Yep, it's nice marketing. You just need to make sure you don't get intoxicated with more data than you're willing to spend in a month.
I got the 4gb plan on the GNex launch day and have only done about 80MB per month... If you're on WI-FI everywhere like me then its a waste of money.
You would pay the same for 2gb, so its hardly a waste.
Unfortunately I spend about 40 hours a week behind the windshield of a car.

That's the way it works for me too. It's nice when it works out like that.
I was using 3.5 + gigs a month with my att phone and now that I have an lte phone I'll be using even more lol
So naturally I got 10 gigs but through work I get my service for dirty cheap my data only costs me 25 bucks for the 5 gigs

I have recently been throttled because I went over my 2gb data usage limit for T-Mobile. Is there anyone to reset the data, or dethrottle myself?
There was a workaround for this, but tmobole caught on not too long ago and nipped that in the butt quick. Sorry bud.

pay about $0.33 more everyday for a month and you get 3 more gb!
in some cases you only need to pay 17cents a day.

17 cents a day for 30 days=5 bucks
33 cents a day for 30 days= 10 bucks
maybe the 5 dollars is because tmobile gives u a discount for being a long time customer? lol thats my best guess.
I went and got home internet to keep me from going over my 10 gb. i would burn thru that in less than 2 weeks downloading roms.. havnt even reached a gig and my bill cycle starts the 24th

If you're in the best buy rewards program you'll get emails when they do these deals (typically less than an hour before it starts - but if it's something you were looking for it's well worth it)

jk do you guys put 1080P hour long multiple porn on yalls phones or something? Lol I think a 16- 32GB would suffice for most users. I recycle data in my storage devices a lot.

I was lucky to get one. It's not going to ship for a freaking month though.
In case you didn't know, T-Mobile prorates their data packages. This is how i pay $32 for 10gbs of data a month. Includes a little headache but works every month.
My standard package:
$20 Android Perfered Web (5gb Unlimited Data)
I generally hit my data cap within 2-3 weeks of my monthly cycle. I call in Tmo and ask them to bump me to 10gbs (the longer you can wait the cheaper). I use wifi at home so I don't really need data on the weekends so I just wait till the next Monday if i can stand it. In case you were wondering how I hit 5gbs in 2-3 weeks, I stream podcasts off stitcher while working.
So they prorate my $20 5gbs to $10 or $15 then add the $30 or lower for 10gbs.
sidenote: **** T-Mobile, they have been ****ing me my entire contract. I planned on renewing (I started with a Galaxy S 1 Vibrant and I bought my GSII cash) and getting a GSIII but seriously I hate tmobile and touchwiz so **** it I'll wait on the next nexus.
Way too much work for me. It surprises me you have the patience for this.

It's either go one or two weeks without data, pay $60, or make a 30 minute phone call.

That's what worries me about the unlimited tmobile plan. People using network data as their main internet connection. Tmobile data will probably slow down quite a bit even though they are saying they have the capacity. I doubt it.
To answer the op's question. I use about 2gb/month.

I do between 3 and 8 per month. Usually just under 5 because I don't want to get throttled.
Hi everyone,
I would like to ask if anyone could tell me how slow will the internet speed become when the data usage limit is over. I have 2gigs on T-Mobile and it is almost up. Is it really really slow? Thanks
Maximum speed is about 56 kilobits per second.

Oh thats sucks. Actually my friend has an iphone running on T-mobile but since iphone doesnt support their bandwitch, the internet is reallyyyyy slow. It's edge from the old ages so I'm just afraid it will become the same on my galaxy s3.
1.97 GB so far - around 22 days to go in the cycle. Yeah, I'm gonna need unlimited.

It'll be about the same, probably a bit slower.
The last 3 months I have hit my 2GB cap with about 2-4 days left in the billing cycle. Luckily someone clued me in on calling customer retention and asking for the 5GB plan for the same price as the 2GB plan, which worked! So starting 3 days ago I have the 5GB plan for $20/month, which is plenty for me.
I use about 5GB or so. I have AT&T and use the medianet plan. $10 for unlimited data love loopholes

Don't bet your pants yet, wait a bill cycle and see what shows up, most likely you got a credit for so many months that brings it down to 20. Not that I don't believe you, but I don't believe you it was that simple , post proof!

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I use about 2GB - 3GB out of 5GB plan. I actually went over 5GB last month and throttling is unbearable. all I could so is send tiny emails, no app would work and I had to call them to disable throttling after my cycle ended. In fact when I called I was told they no longer throttle which was not true. in about 2 days they restored the speed.
How much data do you use per cycle? I have the plan and I can easily reach maybe 50GB through tethering. Kinda worried though if tmobile might catch on.
I just got on the plan yesterday so we will see how it goes.. when they first came out with it for contract the first month i used like 86gigabytes
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Monthly, I use about 20-30gb on internet, I can't live without unlimited.. I remember when I used to have AT&T I'd always go over the 5gb that I had.. I got so pissed that was the reason why I switch from AT&T to T-mobile..
I have used over 30gb each month for the last couple months and haven't heard a thing. It is truly unlimited after all.

I use 12 - 30gb depending on how much work I get weekly. If I get a full 40 hours or more I hit 30 and maybe more. I stream movies and watch YouTube all day at work to kill time.
I had to upgrade to this plan because I remember I started working and it was day 2 of my cycle and I passed the 5gb mark. That was the longest night ever at work lol.
I use anywhere between 20-30 gigs. I call customer service once to check something and the rep freaked when she saw i had used like 32gigs of data. Lol.
