t mobile is cap at 2GB then throttled.
so u left boost cause they got caps now for tmobile who also has caps?
what are u trying to say?
Why yes, that is a bag phone
t-mo is unlimited, but throttled at whatever point your deal with them says it's throttled. It's not capped whatsoever unless you have a deal with them where it's capped.
t-mo has a lot of offers on the table, so anyone is likely to find something to be pleased with.

Virgin throttles at 2.5GB. That's been widely advertised. Boost is murkier - I haven't seen any reports of throttling in the boost forum on HF.
The more data centric $30/month T-mobile plan throttles after 5GB. A good deal considering the price.
I don't really think true unlimited is sustainable. Even the wired internet providers often have limits. The future is either deal with a soft/hard cap, or pay by the GB.

T-Mo has different plans with different caps. Mine is capped at 5GB. Boost is capped at 2.5GB, period. I have twice as much data now than if I would;ve stayed.

boost just added that in may and it was all over the forums.

It was announced at the same time as the WiMax/4G.

Ah, good to know. Thanks.
Back when I had Boost, it felt like I was always being throttled anyway. Very slow data. T-mobile is often literally 10 times faster.

yea sprint 3g most times is no better then edge. all your really getting is the 3g icon.
I have a blue tooth
Verizon prepaid is the only truly unlimited survivor with unlimited 3g data. No 4G LTE yet (except on Broadband/tablet prepaid plans). Pricey though. Page Plus beats them for value . With Boost now capped/throttled, all other prepaid truly unlimited options at high speed (at least full 3g ) are gone.

From what I can find on their website, Verizon caps at 1GB on their $80 plan. T-Mo offers 5GB for $10 less.

There is always the 100 min/unlimited SMS/5GB plan from T-mobile for $30/month. If you don't use much voice, it is a great deal.
I notice I'm most of the way through my month, and haven't used a single voice minute. Don't really talk on the phone much. When I do talk on the phone, if I have WiFi access (e.g. at home and at work), I just use voip.
