<p>"T-mobile has identified customers who are heavy data users and are engaged in peer-to-peer file sharing, and tethering outside of T-Mobile's Terms and Conditions (T&amp;C). This results in a negative data network experience for T-Mobile customers. Beginning August 17, T-Mobile will begin to address customers who are conducting activities outside of T-Mobile's T&amp;Cs"</p>

<p>The story points out that the only customers that will be affected by the new policy will be those that are signed up for T-Mobile's old $70 unlimited plan or the current $80 Simple Choice plan. Those customers who are found to be accessing those P2P networks will be given a warning by T-Mobile, but if that kind of activity persists, the wireless provider will slow down their data speeds.</p> <p>What do you think of T-Mobile's plan to throttle some of its heavy data users?</p> <p>Source: Tmonews (http://www.tmonews.com/2014/08/t-mobile-to-throttle-customers-who-use-unlimited-lte-data-for-torrentsp2p/)</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-26315"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/3d788455/sc/46/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
