#2It's funny how a company that invested so much in getting a trustworthy brand crumbles down so fast by the mistake of one person; their CEO.

It was default on.

#4T-Mobile's behavior has officially entered the "Tyson Zone" for me.
Seriously, what could Legere possibly do in the next 24 hours that would surprise you?

I had been keeping T-Mobile because I wanted a GSM carrier in the US that wasn't AT&T. I get pretty terrible coverage in my semi-rural area, but I liked their policies. Now I'm less sure what to think.

#6Called. Told them to turn it off. Other customers should do the same. It's not fair to prioritize traffic on the public internet. Small businesses suffer.

Virtually nobody is going to care about throttling you can turn off yourself. They probably shouldn't have defaulted it on, but 1080p video over LTE is a shitty use of network resources.
I'm more pissed off they were advertising free video streaming yet it's only on the more expensive data plan. I burnt through my data allotment at the airport in a single afternoon because I believed the advertising.

#8For those not wanting to call them, just log in to your T-Mobile account, click on Profile, go to Media settings and turn off Binge On (should be the first item).
I'm just wondering why they would turn it on for me even though I'm on their unlimited data plan??

Amusingly, this doesn't prioritize. It simply throttles all video streams to Arguably by selectively only "optimizing" their opted-in providers wouldn't they be in a position where they're making some streams "faster" (not to mention free) and open to action by the FCC?

FWIW, it was under the "Phone controls" heading for me. I have the Unlimited Data & Int Text plan, which is always a special snowflake when it comes to these things.
