T-Mobile puts a cap on fast mobile data

T-Mobile has stopped its unlimited data packages in Canada and Mexico, and slapped a cap on its LTE data.

Starting 12 November, customers on T-Mobile ONE, Simple Choice North America, or legacy rate plans will receive a maximum of 5GB of 4G LTE data.

After 5GB of high-speed data is used in Mexico and Canada, customers will stay connected with unlimited data at “Simple Global speeds” – up to 128kbps for most plans.

This change is to “prevent usage beyond the intent of the product”.

“Less than 1% of people with this benefit travel to Mexico and Canada and use over 5GB a month,” it said.
