@Tinkerbell I have the 10GB plan with T-mobile and I get between 96 and have gotten as high as 324. Pretty much all over the 2G realm. AT$T throttles their Um,limited plans alot lower.

Actually they offer 200mb, 2GB, 5GB, and 10GB plans.
The 10gb plan is $105/month total. Throttled to 2g speed after you hit the limit.

as i said. that is with hotspot services. eric claims to have a cheaper plan than sprint. so kick the 104(prepaid) out the door.

It includes hotspot service, yes, but it is a cellphone plan.
He claimed a cheaper plan than Sprint when he was on the $30/month 300 minute prepaid plan, I believe he switched to the plan I mentioned. Hence, I haven't seen him bragging about it being cheaper than Sprint anymore!

Not according to this.

The speedtest I have in my SIG is just an example of the 3G speeds that you'll see , that's better than sprint 4G and better than sprint 3G speeds will ever be. Plus T-mobile also has better signal quality (different than strength) than sprint does. For example with sprint my Rx Power would always hover between -91dbm and -104dbm with 2-4 bars of strength. On T-mobile my Rx Power is -83 to -90dbm on 0 to 3 bars of 3G in my house all this and I'm paying $85 a month (after student rate discount) for 10GB of 4G data and unlimited 3G data (according to the rep who sold me the plan),500 minutes, unlimited night and weekend minutes and unlimited texts.

Studentrate gives 10 percent off.
The plan you mentioned was 104 prepaid.
Its 119 with contract and subsidized phone.
We will go on the assumtion that he is on the prepaid plan although, since he has bregged about his free hd7, we know he is accually on a subsidised plan.
104.99 minus 10 percent is 90 dollars.
That does not include taxes and fees. I have 5 lines on my plan, and I know I pay appx 60 dollars worth of fee and taxes. Let's take 1/5 of that. 12 dollars.
90 for the plan+ 12 dollars worth or taxes and fees comes to 102 dollars. And that's on tmo prepaid.
The same plan on contract would be more like 125 with a student rate discount.
Eric claims he is paying 85 dollars a month. Based on that, id say he is most assuredly not on the 10 gig plan.

not sure how you gets are getting that base number :S

Unlimited - Ultra with Smartphone Mobile HotSpot Service
$94.99 /mo.
up to 10 gb of high speed data

Yes it only has 500 minutes, but with voip you can use the data plan to supplement minutes if you run out :S I do that on sprint's sero as well with my tp2

But I still like the $30/monthly tmobile though, it's comparable with sprint's sero without the hassle of limited phone selection

i was using the most minute plan to compare apples to apples with sprint unlimited mobile to mobile 1500.
i do see now that there are lesser minute plans.
i guess i was blinded by my dislike for erics redundant espousing of love for tmobile.

with only 500 minutes, my wife and her sister would be in to overages in about 3 days of talking. just our mobile to mobile on their 2 lines is 4500 minutes.

Eric is allowed to blindly love t-mobile. Just gaze over his posts and move forward.

Let's stick to the topic on AT&T throttling their unlimited plan.
