T-Mobile will allow customers to use more LTE data before throttling them.
Previously, T-Mobile said it would throttle the heaviest users after they surpass 28 GB of mobile data in a single billing period. T-Mobile today improved the threshold to 30 GB, which means people can use more data before potentially being hit with slower browsing speeds.
T-Mobile says customers who exceed the 30 GB threshold might see their top speeds dialed back only when the network is congested. T-Mobile anticipates this won’t impact too many users. The 30 GB threshold resets each month.
T-Mobile calls this practice prioritization and says it is primarily used as a way to manage network load.
