He's saying prices have raised becouse metro roan share towers with sprint becouse sprint is moving to lte and giving their wimaax towers to virgin mobile. This tower sharing will increase our 3g and 4g speeds. :-/ if this is true it makes the price hike somewhat worth it. Especially if 3g speeds are no longer absolute shit.

Can They change our plan? like im on the $60 plan with rasphody suppose to be unlimited no cap. Can they all of the sudden give me slower speeds after 5 gbs now or do they honor your plan until you change it?

They can do whatever they want because you don't have a contract plan but they did say they would leave existing plans alone. I went to metropcs.com and logged in to check my plan. I also have the $60 plan and it says it's still unlimited 4G no cap.

MetroPCS spokesman Drew Crowell told Fierce Wireless that, once throttled, customers can expect speeds to be "similar to what they might experience on MetroPCS' 3G networks." Subscribers on the non-throttled LTE plans that reach their monthly allotment and get slowed will have their speeds returned to normal at the start of the next billing cycle. It's good to see MetroPCS make their LTE plans easier for users to understand, though I'm sure there will be more than a few folks bummed by the fact that the new unlimited (and non-throttled) plan is $10 more than Metro's previous plan that included unlimited data and streaming. MetroPCS does point out that current customers' plans won't change unless they opt to switch to one of the new offerings. If you're interested in checking out Metro's new plans for yourself, you can do so by hitting the MetroPCS link below.
