[EVO Shift 4G General] moneymike55:
I wasn't even going to bother responding to this ridiculous argument since you obviously believe tmobile is gonna give you a cookie if you keep sucking them up and pointing out obvious facts, but since this thread is just a discussion over 10 dollars that wont change anything (and from what I've read wont even effect ppl that signed up before the end of this month anyway) I don't feel like I'm wasting valuable space defending my "ignorance".

Now, if you want to keep claiming that both the Rep and supervisor I spoke with were just misinformed for simplicity since "most people dont go over 5gb", that doesn't mean the people who do use that amount (and have from the beginning ) can't hold the entire company accountable for one or two employees, if not legally then at least from an ethical perspective. If a rep doesn't know what they're talking about and explicitly promises a plan is fully unlimited just to sell a contract, that means they aren't training them properly which holds management as well as corporate responsible for their actions and people shouldn't have to read 20 pages of fine print to make sure every employee is properly informed (which for your information I did read it and there isn't a single mention of a data throttle/cap, much less 5gb. The only place this can be found is in their online t&c, which has been recently changed and is definitely different than the one I got with my latest contract). It would have been one thing if they hadn't mentioned anything at all, or if I hadn't SPECIFICALLY asked them multiple times about the terms of unlimited data and throttling, or maybe if I hadn't been with tmo for 5 years paying ~$100/mo the whole time and wasn't using even more data than I am lately for 99% of that timeframe, or even if their advertising or main site had a single note (or at least an asterisk) about a cap or throttle next to their plans like every other carrier in the industry does, including sprint. I know how they can do it, but that doesn't make it right to hide important limitations on a document that is subject to change without notice, and there's a few thousand posts on xda alone from ppl on tmo asking what throttling even is and if it actually applies to their unlimited plans so obviously they aren't disclosing their limitations as well as they should. Like I already told somebody else this week, if you actually believe hiding important facts 20 pages deep in a booklet that comes after signing the contract (containing completely different information than your misinformed employees are telling ppl) is an acceptable business practice, you should either be working for tmobile or pushing home loans at bank of america.

And drop the whole trademark bs, a single lawsuit isn't going to seriously affect a company as large as clearwire, even coming from the likes of Sony. If anything will make them collapse its offering truely unlimited data without increasing towers as they attract more customers and expand, which obviously is the same reason T-Mobile throttles heavy data users like me. Regardless, it isnt my job to know if tmo truely has the technological capacity to actually provide what their reps offer, and neither I or the millions of other long time customers suddenly getting throttle texts from tmo should find out about something that is now affecting us 1-3 weeks out of the month years later when supposedly its been there all along. Not like there's anything you or me can do about it besides ***** and complain, but I wasn't trying to justify myself in the first place and don't need ignorant ppl like u telling me something as obvious as "read the t&c". While calling ppl out by referring to the lawyer print in a changeable legal document is an interesting way to keep your hands busy, I'm sure you know of some sites that will better serve your needs (and I bet u could load them faster than .05mbps too).
