+10 They can tell us all they want these phones "werent designed to tether and be used as a broadband device" but if thats the case, dont put in the settings menu under "wireless and networks" the options of Mobile AP and Tethering... if its not meant to do it, why are those options there?!? Honestly, I use mobile ap as my internet source for my laptop at home... Why? Because im not gonna pay 40$ more a month for internet through the cable company when i have "UNLIMITED DATA" on my phone and have an OPTION to use it as an access point. So yeah, I use the data I am paying for. I just hit my 5gb cap 2 days ago, my bill cycle restarts tomorrow... so not a big deal, went all month (downloading roms, watching youtube, downloading apps, browsing the web, etc etc) and JUST hit the cap a few days before my cycle ends... so its not like people are hitting it in a few days, but its annoying that its there to begin with. If im paying the money for UNLIMITED data, then dont try to tell me how i can use it and what i can use it for, I'm paying for it, i will do with it what i want to do! Anyone that disagrees with that or doesnt understand that is obviously a moron, if you're paying for something, you really want them to tell you how you can use it and what it can be used for? Really? You must just go with what everyone says and not do your own thing ever cause this is rediculous. Ok fine, cap the speeds, but make it 10gb for unlimed and make it 45$ a month, id happily pay it to not get throttled because i use a lot of data. Then have a 5gb 30$ and keep your measily 200mb for 10-15$.

I've been with T-Mobile for 4 years now and it used to be awful when i signed up, from signal to customer service, and now its 1000 times better. So dont sit there and tell me that they dont have the "bandwidth" for all these new data features... technology is at a place right now where if they dont have that bandwidth, in a matter of time they will be out of business.. they need it to compete. But ok, ill go with you on the "they dont have the bandwidth for all you data hogs" argument.. why are they advertising these phones with MOBILE TV, APPS, YOUTUBE, HULU, XBOX LIVE, NETFLIX and the list goes ON AND ON AND ON!!! Cause guess what assholes, that **** takes data to use, and a lot of it... so you used the phone what its advertised it can do and within 2 weeks now you're capped and your phone is useless the rest of the month. And i know this because im now capped and guess what, every download from the market has failed, youtube wont open, web browser takes 10 minutes to open GOOGLE!!! Its useless, yet i'm paying for the fully unlimited plan?! REALLY?!?! And NOW with "Americas Largest 4G Network" that data is going to be used up even FASTER!! So all I'm saying is, if you're going to put out new phones, new coverage and new OPTIONS, then do what is needed to support it and stop finger banging your customers in the ass cause its rediculous. Thank God theres a lawsuit in progress over this as we speak, if we're lucky everyone will get a big chunk of cash back for the web that we PURCHASE every month. Thats my 2 cents worth of rant on the topic.

P.S: I bet I just used 20mb of YOUR data to post that... so suck it!!!
