Come to the T-Metro data usage Confessional

OcalaFlGuy · Oct 26, 2013

I don't think we've seen or heard anything official regarding data limits before throttling **on the new combined network**.

Confess your sins. IF you have a Metro phone on GSM, let's hear your Confessional of monthly usage amounts. Also ESPECIALLY any throttling situations you've had.

There will be Special Dispensations for those Overacheivers.

Nope..unlimited here and its hard to even pass 5gigs with wifi around..

Gman9831 · Oct 26, 2013

Would hope they're following tmobiles unlimited throttle cap of 9765.6GB

the hulk · Oct 26, 2013

I've used(according to my tracker on my account) 5.52GB with a BYOD device and no throttling yet, will update once my billing cycle resets.

I use about 10gbs a month. I never use WiFi because my LTE is always fast. I have the $60 unlimited plan by the way.

averagewonder · Oct 27, 2013

Not a GSM but I never realised because I'm on the old $55 unlimited I don't really use that much data I only used 874Mbs last billing cycle.

I'm the same bro. But I only use around 7-8 gb. Mostly for netflix. Thinkin about adding wifi tether for my laptop. The wifi I use for it now is like a dinosaur compared to my phone lol. I've always been unlimited so I can't comment about throttling

I've done that with my LG motion, it works great

That only works if you have an LTE capable phone.I'm so sad this L9 has no LTE.

sammyz why'd you pick up the L9 over the dozens of other Lg phones out there?

Bcuz the l9's bootloader is unlockable

I know I originally said GSM but FWIW...

I'm on CDMA and this is probably one of my absolute heaviest usage months. My Wifi here has been wonky so for the major portions of about 4 days I tethered. Mid way through this month I signed up for the Free month of Download Netflocks. (WHEEEEE!!!) I'll probably tether most of today because it's the last day of my month and well, because I CAN. (WHEEEEE!!!)

I may Just Barely break 5 Gigs this month. :rolleyes:

wife and i on sprints LTE use about 2.6 gigs a month on average, we switch to wifi when we are at home to save battery and have faster speeds. it amazes me that some people are able to break 20gigs on literally just using their phones, no tethering involved.

Yes sir I can say that when my signal is 2 bars or more I get right around 20. Last week I checked just out of the blue with a full signal strength & my baby spiked to 30. I'm sure its about where I'm located, with more towers to chose from

He is. He just has no idea we were talking about data use and not network speeds

This is by far the most data I have used on my phone more than December when I complied KitKat from source who wants to top me? It resets on the 10th

OcalaFlGuy · Feb 6, 2014

Wow.

I guess that's proof we're under the new basically unlimited T-Mo unlimited.

I'm not even in the same galaxy with my measly 16.
