Only my PS3 and new tower (6 months old?) on my hardwired Comcast gives challenge to the quality.

I get a 5GB matching for my lines, and I can pay more for more data. 5GB is more than I need. I was just very surprised how good Netfix was through it.

Yeah but its unlimited if not tethering. I haven't seen any othe cell companies offer this for lower price IMO
Re: T-Mobile surprised me
...and if you have a nexus, they don't have any say on your tethering
Re: T-Mobile surprised me
Netflix seems to preload a big portion of what you're watching.
There have been a few occasions where I'm watching something on Netlix and I get signed off without realizing it but still able to see the whole shit.

once you use a lot of your bandwidth with T-Mobile they kill your speed

You have so many GB per billing period. Once that is used up, your speed is throttled down below the "up to" 40(?) MB/sec. Question should be, what is it throttled down to...
I did a speed test once on my T-Mobil to my computer, and had 34 MBPS. If I recall, I was told I would get as fast as 60 MBPS. Depends on the nearby tower load.
I should do it again, and before the end of my billing period, run it out and test again.
I think it's slowed down to EDGE speeds which would be 1.6 MBPS max.
Re: T-Mobile surprised me
No I meant using up a lot of data. How much? 10 20 50 gb/month?

I know one person who uses it and once he uses it for 15 minutes heavy surfing they slow him down he thinks it is great so it does not use his bandwidth up
I think it sucks

+1
Also I have used as much as 90GB in one month and never been throttled.
