That means T-Mobile slows down your service compared to other customers, though only at times when the demand for data is particularly high. Of course, 21GB is a lot of data, but\u00a0if you have a big family or just tether a lot you could probably get there\u00a0pretty fast.<\/p>\n<p>Until recently, T-Mobile simply warned that customers who were in the top 3 percent when it came to data use would be throttled. At least now you know exactly when these penalties kick in. Still, T-Mobile hasn\u2019t actually said how slow your speeds may drop, which would be a nice detail to know.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sourcevia-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"sourcevia fCaps fLS0\"><span class=\"label fLS1\">SOURCE<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.t-mobile.com\/cell-phone-plans\/individual.html?clickid=3cFQgy07H2NQUElVkI3z-RBJUkXxzcQRIxa10A0&amp;cmpid=WTR_AF_AQ_PR_189313&amp;irpid=10078&amp;iradid=189313&amp;irgwc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">T-MOBILE (1)<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.t-mobile.com\/cell-phone-plans\/family.html#tab-navigation?clickid=3cFQgy07H2NQUElVkI3z-RBJUkXxzcQVIxa10A0&amp;cmpid=WTR_AF_AQ_PR_189313&amp;irpid=10078&amp;iradid=189313&amp;irgwc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(2)<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"sourcevia fCaps fLS0\"><span class=\"label fLS1\">VIA<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tmonews.com\/2015\/06\/21gb-soft-cap-quietly-added-to-t-mobiles-unlimited-4g-lte-simple-choice-plans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TMONEWS<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>T-Mobile\u2018s always been a bit vague when it comes to how it manages its\u00a0unlimited\u00a04G LTE Simple Choice plans.
