@JohnLegere next thing T-Mobile needs to do is 3G data on international roaming.

-
@JohnLegere@SievertMike We also tried to make this clear in the post: P2P/Abusers only. Not dependent on how much data is used at all. -
@TmoNews@JohnLegere@SievertMike Shouldn't matter much to me at the moment but good to know -
@JohnLegere@SievertMike so can we still stream Netflix unlimited -
@johnlegere@sievertmike Except that it will be throttled, as it says in that article, for arbitrary data based on packet origin/destination -
@tmonews@johnlegere@sievertmike It shouldn't matter where the data comes from or how it is used! -
@rosyna@TmoNews@JohnLegere@SievertMike why? They've had it in the ToS for months because this particular type of usage hurts everyone. -
@jmerithew87@tmonews@johnlegere@sievertmike because the proper thing is to upgrade the network to handle the worst-case scenarios. -
@jmerithew87@tmonews@johnlegere@sievertmike Secondly, because people pay for a service that includes unlimited data. They should get it. -
@rosyna@TmoNews@JohnLegere@SievertMike why, so you can pirate your movies? P2P is the absolute biggest network drain and usually used -
@rosyna@TmoNews@JohnLegere@SievertMike illegally. I'd rather see those people throttled than people who go over 5 gigs like other crriers -
@jmerithew87@tmonews@johnlegere@sievertmike P2P is used for other things. Windows Updates, WoW updates, et cetera. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer-to-peer … -
@jmerithew87@johnlegere@sievertmike T-Mobile also throttles the top 5% of users. And using "automatic data feeds" will also get throttled. -
@rosyna@TmoNews@JohnLegere@SievertMike do you have proof of the top 5%? And you can disable P2P for the options you listed. -
@jmerithew87 Disabling P2P for these makes them slower since the traffic has to cross networks. P2P decreases out of network traffic a lot. -
@rosyna@JohnLegere@SievertMike you're also probably working around the tethering cap if you do that much on your data connection. -
@jmerithew87 The top 5% is only about 5GB for mobile networks. Super easy to hit if you watch Netflix on a smartphone. It only takes 3-5 hrs -
@jmerithew87 Once you hit that 5%, then these other "exceptions" will come into play, even if you use far less than 5% on P2P/webcam. -
