GoKawiilT-Mobile Settles With New York Over Low-Income Broadband Throttling
New York's Attorney General found T-Mobile had capped its $15 Affordable Broadband Act plans at 50GB, after which speeds dropped more than 97% to 650 Kbps. Regulators also found T-Mobile limited these plans to 5G-only areas while offering faster 25 Mbps service elsewhere, and coded its webpage to be hidden from search engines. Under a settlement, T-Mobile must remove the data cap, guarantee 25 Mbps speeds, expand plan availability to all areas with fixed-wireless service, and make the signup page searchable online.
