For the past two months my Internet has slowed down at 25gbs. I have the $60 plan.. This message is sent to me when I reach 25gbs I'm gonna call metro tomorrow to see why this is happening..
So I know this thread is pretty, pret-ty old, but I wanted to share something very.. leet's say astonishing about MetroPCS aka the Bernie Sanders of phone companies. I've been loyal to Metro for two years ++... and I will show you why.
Lol... it's obviously not hurting them because I got my ASUS last year, my cycles are pretty much consistently similar to these, and it's worked flawlessly ever since with the help of a VPN and EasyTether (best tethering app btw I've tried all). Internal tether does work well, but ALWAYS disconnects eventually. And that sucks when you use this as your ISP.
I kinda feel like a douche.. but at the same time.. IT'S HARD OUT HERE YOU FEEL ME?!!
how is it you can use that much data on tethering.. thats not hotspot data am i correct. let me know how you use easy tether pto to use that much data and i do plan on using a VPN . many thanks
This is the ol' recipe of a pinch of in theory vs in practice, plus a dash of nearby circumstances/events can and often do change at any moment. . . added to the main ingredients of x # towers @ particular geographical location...I have 2 $60.00 unlimited plans and I am a super user. I use on average 45 GB of mobile data and 35 to 40 GB of wi-fi per month and yes Metropcs does throttle and it states that in its data disclosure. Also because T-Mobil is the parent company to Metropcs they give priority to all T-Mobil customers. And between 3 o'clock at 7 o'clock p.m. the speeds are reduced dramatically. So I'm kind of lost when commentators state that they use over 100 gigabytes a month and noticed no throttling whatsoever, that's just not true. This is the exact wording, check for yourself.
DATA AT UP TO 4G LTE SPEEDS!
On all plans, during congestion the top 3% of data users (>28GB/mo.) may notice reduced speeds until next payment cycle.
It only slows you down if the tower if full to capacity and it still doesn't throttled you. Your speeds just slows down a little bit. Once the tower if free then speeds are normal.I dont know how you can say its unlimited, truly unlimited when you post a link that tells you it throttles after 28 GB.

All unlimited companies put that in the tos bro Google it. They rarely enforce it.Here is the proof
