Is it counted for prioritization? How much slower will my data speeds be? The actual speeds may vary depending on the location and the number of people trying to use the network at the same time. For more information visit our Open Internet Disclosures here. Does tethering usage also count towards the 35GB? Data usage on your smartphone as well as data usage through Smartphone Mobile HotSpot tethering both count toward the 35GB threshold. Where can I get more detail on my overall data usage?
Also, as discussed below, as a feature differentiating Metro by T-Mobile-branded service and plans from T-Mobile or Sprint-branded services, data of customers who choose T-Mobile branded or Sprint service plans other than T-Mobile Essentials or Sprint Essentials has precedence over data of customers who choose non T-Mobile-branded service plans, such as Metro by T-Mobile, when the network is presented with competing demands.
Mobile internet plans offered after December 12, with 30GB or more data per month are prioritized next. The vast majority of customers on T-Mobile-branded, Sprint-branded, Metro by T-Mobile-branded, and Assurance Wireless-branded plans receive higher priority than the small fraction of customers who are Heavy Data Users on their rate plan, who are prioritized last on the network after exceeding the relevant threshold for the current payment cycle.
Customer devices also have varying speed capabilities and may connect to different networks depending on technology. Even within coverage areas and with broadband-capable devices, network changes, traffic volume, outages, technical limitations, signal strength, obstructions, weather, and other conditions may impact speeds and service availability.
Additionally, Metro by T-Mobile offers other services to its customers that use the same network infrastructure and resources as its broadband internet access services and are given priority over other traffic on the network.
These services may affect the availability of network resources for consumer or enterprise broadband internet access services, which may be noticeable in times of congestion. Similarly, Wireless Priority Service traffic may preempt other traffic during times of extreme congestion, which means that in rare cases we may interrupt an active data or voice session to support public safety needs.

The term "speed" is commonly used as a shorthand way to describe the rate at which a particular broadband Internet access service can transmit data. This rate or speed is typically measured in the number of kilobits or megabits transmitted in one second Kbps or Mbps.
Some applications like email or basic web browsing do not require a high-data speed to function very well, while other activities like high-definition video streaming or transferring large data files are better experienced with higher data speeds.
Latency, also known as delay, is the amount of time from when a data packet is sent to when it is received. For Broadband Internet Access Services, latency is usually expressed as the round-trip time in milliseconds "ms" that it takes for a data packet to travel between two end points on the Internet from point A to point B and then back to point A. Some applications, such as email, can tolerate a substantial amount of latency without any noticeable impact on the application's performance, while other applications, such as real-time video conferencing, require lower latency to function properly.
Based on analysis and projections from third-party, crowd-sourced data and subject to the factors described above and below, Metro by T-Mobile expects customers with broadband-capable devices and qualifying service will experience the following speeds and latency on our network.
These ranges are projections based on roughly the 25th and 75th percentiles of network tests. These ranges represent network performance nationally and may differ from future network conditions or from what you purchased as part of your current rate plan when you first activated it. As described above, your experience may also differ based on, e. You may occasionally experience speeds, latency, or other network capabilities outside the ranges available as part of your service.
Metro by T-Mobile constantly works to improve performance on its network and to pursue advanced and next-generation technologies and services. For example, Metro by T-Mobile is in the process of deploying its 5G network, including layering millimeter wave, mid-band, and low-band spectrum over the LTE network, and rolling out and low-band 5G.
In recent years, Metro by T-Mobile has aggressively built out its high-speed data network so nearly all customers have regular access to high speeds. Metro by T-Mobile may limit activations of new devices on these older technologies as we prepare to transition our network to newer technologies; see a sales representative for the latest options. Based on internal and crowd-sourced testing, we expect Metro by T-Mobile customers with broadband-capable devices during use of these older technologies to typically experience average download speeds of 1.
Your speed range will also depend on the high-speed data allotments associated with the data plan you have selected.
See Plans for more details. Some plans may include maximum speeds for some services. Metro by T-Mobile plans includes a set amount of high-speed tethering, after which tethering is slowed for the rest of the service cycle; unlimited high-speed data is only for use on your smartphone. Customers may choose to activate an add-on feature for a set amount of high-speed tethering data.
For coverage information relating to specific geographic areas, see our coverage map. Note: To access a given network technology e. The network architecture providing dual connectivity could result in instances where your device indicates a 5G connection even though you are temporarily utilizing only 4G LTE.
As 5G technology develops, devices will be able to experience direct and continuous 5G in more places. If your data plan features a designated allotment of high-speed data, data used by certain speed measurement applications will not count against that high-speed data allotment to provide accurate and reliable information about network performance without consuming large amounts of your data.
See the full list here. MetroPCS is launching the service with the Samsung Craft, a souped-up feature phone that uses a proprietary Samsung operating system and home-grown Samsung chips. Keys said that the company is not trying to compete directly with the major carriers. Instead, the company is simply offering speedier wireless data service for its 7. Some 90 percent of the company's customer base uses wireless data services today, Keys said, and half of them use their mobile phones as their primary means to connect to the Internet.
Instead, the Samsung Craft was designed as an entertainment device providing speedy connectivity to the Web and access to streaming video and music, Keys added. MetroPCS plans to be in 19 markets by the end of , covering about million people.
By contrast, Verizon has said it will be in 25 to 30 markets by the end of this year. And it expects its service to be available to million people this year alone. It will continue rolling out the 4G service over the next year. The carrier now has to balance the needs of those users with its urge to repack the spectrum for 5G deployment. According to an internal document from last July, regular T-Mobile, Metro by T-Mobile, and derivative MVNO customers were supposedly blocked from activating devices that don't support T-Mobile's VoLTE protocol starting in August and that the company planned to purge existing non-compliant devices off the network at the turn of the year.
There hasn't been a general notice on the 2G and 3G shutdowns, though. Thanks to some new internal documents found by The T-Mo Report , we've learned more information surrounding T-Mobile's 3G shut down — and the impending death of Sprint. Here are the new dates you'll need to take note of:. The most important date here is for T-Mobile's 3G network, which the carrier placed on hiatus in February. It's back to the initially planned date of October 1, leaving users less than two months to switch to a VoLTE-capable phone if they haven't already.
