T-Mobile switches users to pricier plans and tells them it’s not a price hike::T-Mobile: “We are not raising the price… we are moving you to a newer plan.”

    I have mint: The connection sucks, you get deprioritized against other traffic so bandwidth is usually garbage. It’s fine if you just need text and phone calls though.

      Is that what’s going on? So often since I switched to Mint I’ll have full bars and can’t do anything online.

      I have mint too and haven’t had much trouble with bandwidth. But to be fair I don’t use my phone for very much while not on wifi, mostly just streaming music and Google maps.

      I think this experience might be region-dependant. I’m in a major city on Mint and I routinely see 900Mbps+ down and never have any issues with streaming. I think the lowest speed test I ever saw was around 200Mbps.

        In my city 90% of the time it’s perfectly fine. Then there are a few dead spots in the t mobile network that are really frustrating and I’m usually in those spots once a week.

        Then I visited some family in Colorado and it was awful and my phone was essentially useless without Wi-Fi. T mobiles network is very hit or miss but no way am I paying $70 / month or whether the going rate for Verizon, etc.

      I was worried about that since they buy access to towers, thank you for sharing your experience. Are able to see when that happens in a concrete way, or is more just the noticable lag?
