is it possible to turn off tmobiles data throttling on android phones to have full download speeds at all time?

Just saw that T-Mobile is offering 2 lines with unlimited everything (well data is unlimited but throttled after 2gb) for $50 and still wondering if the throttling can be removed i want to have a phone that i can be on a call and surf the web at the same time and was planning on getting me and the wife the new SGS2 when it comes out for Tmobile and finally getting her to let go of her old phone and upgrading to Android.

But if the ATT/Tmobile merger does happen how will that affect my account will i have to accept whatever plan change att offers me or would i be able to keep the one i signed up for with Tmobile.

Its a new 2yr agreement that i would have to sign so so that really sucks

You'll get grandfathered on the T-Moblie plan, but I have the 5gb plan before throttling starts.

Then i will be able to keep what i signed up for with Tmobile Cool cause i know att is going to cost more but i wonder if the service will still be the same or will it get bad.

Also how do i get the 5gb before throttle plan? also is there any way to remove throttling?

the 5gb plan is cool, I do cheat and use my home wifi. I would've dropped them, but you can't beat talking and surfing at the same time lol.

thats one of the reasons why i want to switch because the only other way i can do that when on the road is wherever 4g is available which is not in many places
