See Plans for more details. Some plans may include maximum speeds for some services. Metro by T-Mobile plans includes a set amount of high-speed tethering, after which tethering is slowed for the rest of the service cycle; unlimited high-speed data is only for use on your smartphone.
Customers may choose to activate an add-on feature for a set amount of high-speed tethering data. For coverage information relating to specific geographic areas, see our coverage map. Note: To access a given network technology e.
The network architecture providing dual connectivity could result in instances where your device indicates a 5G connection even though you are temporarily utilizing only 4G LTE. As 5G technology develops, devices will be able to experience direct and continuous 5G in more places.
If your data plan features a designated allotment of high-speed data, data used by certain speed measurement applications will not count against that high-speed data allotment to provide accurate and reliable information about network performance without consuming large amounts of your data.
See the full list here. If your data plan includes data use at reduced speed after you have used your plan's monthly allotment of high-speed data, your data speed will be limited typically to 64 kbps or kbps for the remainder of your payment cycle once you have used your allotted high-speed data.
The results from some speed measuring applications may show current network speeds, rather than the reduced speed that is currently available to you. Speed measurement applications other than the ones listed here will show your reduced speed.
If you use speed tests other than the ones listed here prior to reaching your monthly high-speed data allotment, use of those applications may count against your data allotment.
How does Metro by T-Mobile manage the flow of data on its network? We engineer our network to provide consistent high-speed data service, but at times and at locations where the number of customers using the network exceeds available network resources, customers will experience reduced data speeds.
To provide the best possible experience for the most possible customers on Metro by T-Mobile-branded plans, we implement network management practices on a content-agnostic basis, such as caching less data, prioritizing data usage of non-Heavy Data Users, and video optimization. These practices do not discriminate against offerings that might compete against those offered by Metro by T-Mobile or any Metro by T-Mobile affiliate on the basis of such competition. Metro by T-Mobile uses streaming video optimization technology.
Streaming video optimization improves overall data usage management of the network, resulting in greater network speeds and throughput for other customers using data because less network payload is dedicated to video. For customers on limited high-speed plans, optimization also helps customers stretch their high-speed data while streaming video. For video that is not self-optimized by the video provider, we adjust the delivery rate for streaming video to up to 1.
Video optimization occurs only for data streams that are identified by our packet-core network as video or where the video provider has chosen to establish protocols to self-optimize its video. Some videos, like those consumed via VPN or while tethering, may be difficult to identify as video and therefore cannot be optimized.
The streaming video optimization process applies to all content identified as video regardless of the content itself or the website that provides it. While many changes to streaming video files are likely to be indiscernible, the optimization process may impact the appearance of the streaming video as displayed on a user's device. In some instances, video optimization may also identify and treat downloads of video files as if they were real-time video streams. However Metro by T-Mobile offers content providers a way to opt-in to a protocol to help identify video downloads to ensure they are not treated as streaming video.
Data Maximizer uses video streaming optimization when connected to the cellular network to deliver a DVD quality 1. Customers may, for an additional charge, add on an HD video feature, enabling streaming in HD. Data Maximizer does not apply to services of providers who have chosen to opt out none have opted out of Data Maximizer at this time.
When watching video from these providers, high speed data consumption will continue as if Data Maximizer were not enabled. Some of our plan options feature a customer-chosen high-speed data allotment with reduced speeds on our network after the high-speed allotment is exhausted, so customers can choose the combination of high-speed data and price that is right for their needs.
Unlimited high-speed data customers do not have a specific high-speed data allotment on their device, however, and customers on some limited high-speed plans may have extremely high data usage under certain circumstances, including if their plan enables access to significant amounts of data that does not count against their high-speed data allotment. While T-Mobile continues to expand its network capacity, at this time, some network management for these scenarios is required, because very heavy data usage by even a few customers at times and places of competing network demands can affect the network performance for other customers.
To provide the best possible experience for the most possible customers on their Metro by T-Mobile-branded plans, and to minimize capacity issues and degradation in network performance, we manage significant high-speed data usage through prioritization.
So far there is no word on what kind of device with which Verizon will launch its LTE network. Traditionally, wireless operators have launched faster networks with wireless data cards and dongles that allow laptops to connect to the faster networks. Chipsets designed for phones are typically available in high-volume a year after chips used in data cards are available. But there is a chance that this time line has been sped up to accommodate Verizon's launch. While some people believe that Verizon could launch its service with a 4G LTE handset, chip experts say that the chips will be early implementations, and devices may not be optimized for the 4G network.
This means that the handsets will likely consume lots of power and may have other issues. In other words, these devices will work, but it may not be pretty. Initially, this device had power consumption issues. Iyad Tarazi, vice president of network development and engineering for Sprint, admitted this was an issue early on. Have questions? How will I know if 5G is available in my area? Which 5G devices are available at Metro by T-Mobile?
What does my device have to do with coverage? Unlimited high-speed data plans Get a great new phone or bring the one you love. Metro service not available for purchase in Puerto Rico. Unlimited on select plans on handset and on network only. Not all phones or features available on all service plans. Certain restrictions apply. Coverage and services not available everywhere. Device and screen images simulated and subject ot change. Rates, services, coverage, and features subject to change.
Phone selection and availability may vary. Metro by T-Mobile features and services for personal use only. Service may be slowed, suspended, terminated, or restricted for misuse, abnormal use, interference with our network or ability to provide quality service to other users, or significant roaming. See store or metrobytmobile. Low-cost carriers pass on the savings to you.
Without the overheads of physical stores or expensive advertising campaigns you can halve your monthly cell phone bill. Most unlocked phones are compatible with Metro by T-Mobile. They operate on the T-Mobile network. Metro by T-Mobile makes it possible to get a cell phone plan on the T-Mobile network without the big ticket prices. With MVNOs you'll get flexible plans with no contracts, so you're free to amend or cancel without any additional fees.
