As much as Google touts the "flexibility" to theoretically pay less, using less than 6 gigabytes is pretty difficult in 2018 unless you use very few services and have no interest in video.
Eventually left when I wanted to switch back to an iPhone
I just don't understand why mobile plans are so expensive in Israel. In India you can get 1.5GB per day plus unlimited text/calls for $6 a month. If I had to speculate, I'd say it has something to do with competition lowering prices.
And if it hasn't changed, the OS supposedly also has to be stock to allow for Fi to work.
In general, cell quality voice should be similar to that of a POTS line. Better codecs can provide higher quality for VoIP, even on small bandwidth, but with "real" phones you are going to get the lowest common denominator.
The cap at $60 is a really nice addition. I've had lots of people want to go to Fi but as heavy data users they just couldn't.
Does this mean that when 1 phone goes past 15GB, it is necessary to opt-out of the cap to return to normal speeds?
If not (and it doesn't make sense if opting out of the cap is somehow possible), is there ever any case where someone would _not_ want to go back to the normal speed as they cross the 15GB on the way to passing the cap?
Is the intention just to throw in a minor speed bump requiring the affected 1% of users to contact support every month (leaving the few that are ignorant throttled)?
>"If you use more than 15GB of data in a month (under 1% of current fi users you'll expect slower data speeds with Bill Protection"
So with Bill Protection you get throttled, but if you pay then you don't... Interesting.
So, you still benefit $90, while getting the same quality service if you want to pay the old prices. 15 GB/month really seems like a lot, though, coming from someone who uses 1, maybe 2 GB, with Fi.
Definitely nice to know that my bill cannot go higher than $80/month even with some type of data usage run-away (look at you YouTube Kids!).
I guess the previous poster was referring to losing a number permanently, but still. Seems like they are still ironing out basic services like phone numbers.
Probably 50% of my phone calls either dropped or had huge latency as a result.
They don't throttle your dada over a certain limit but you do get deprioritized during times of network congestion. My son who doesn't live with us uses his phone for internet exclusively and he does 80GB+ a month without a noticeable slow down. My wife has a split shift and between her shift, when she's not at the gym, she watches about two or three hours of streaming video a day.
I haven't had a problem with T-mobile except in very rural areas but that doesn't happen often at all.
