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 use about 2 1/2 GBs . But when I try to use it I can't get up to 5.

I have WiFi everywhere work home, friends, and the bars I go to lol... I use maybe 1.2 GB.
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!

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.

I got off the phone with a tmobile rep a while ago who told me that I could get a free upgrade to 10gb from 5 but it lasts only three months, meaning: you pay 30 bucks a month for 10gb Internet for a period of 3 months.. Just so I don't get misunderstood somehow. Sweet sheeit!
edit: oh and I think you can only get it on one line if you have a family plan
Its 3 months, how is that a sweet deal? If it was for the life of the account, maybe.

hmm, I just switched to Tmo from sprint's unlimited data plan. I understand the appeal, and the more is better mentality, but even streaming pandora in the car more than 1gb was unusual usage for me. Who knows, maybe this phone will make me use more.
I'm on the road all day with work so streaming videos, downloading roms, using spotify eats data like crazy.
I only get wifi at home.. Man I don't know what I'd do with 200mb, it wouldn't last me a day

So what do you plan to do after the freebie is over?
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
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

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.

If you are tethering: they may threaten to kick you off unlimited.
If you aren't: they probably won't say/do anything, at least based on how they've handled things so far.

Whatever it is, they're definitely going to do something.. Either throttle you if you're grandfathered on unlimited or $4-500 in overage on a tiered plan.

Well if they have not throttled him and he only has 7 days left in his cycle, he may get throttled for 7 days.. but it resets when his cycle does so i think hes good to go... (as long as hes Grandfather'd on an unlimited plan that is lol)

On Verizon, and on average, I use about 40gb a month. Been this way for awhile and never had any trouble.
I'm not sure about this guy but I have no choice. My phone is my internet for my whole family. It's this or dial up. Luckily I have great 4g and unlimited data.
I usually keep my data usage hush hush because people react so negativity to it. I pay my bills. I buy all my devices full price. I'm gonna use my data.

Hahah yea I'm on the grandfathered unlimited.

Just takes some patience for Netflix or videos to load though.

You don't get charged for going over your limit, just throttled, as far as I know. That being said, after the 5GB cap was hit, he should have been throttled back to 2G/Edge, how he managed to rack up that extra 20GB on 2G speeds is beyond me... unless he's rooted, in which case I think there's a way to bypass the throttling.

If you have the unlimited plan don't worry about it . throttling and going over usage doesn't matter they won't charge you for continuing to go over your 5gbs that's just for full speed. If they don't throttle its on their end they won't charge you.
