T-Mobile Intros Simply Prepaid Unlimited Plans Coming January 25th

So T-Mobile has just announced a few new prepaid plans with unlimited talk, text and data and 4G which all sounds  great until you read the fine print. The three plans are $40, $50 and $60 per month with 1GB, 3Gb and 5GB of 4G LTE on the respective plans and all have unlimited talk, text and data. The fine print comes in with the data as once you use your 4G allotment you’re throttled all the way down to 128k for the rest of the month. What could you possibly do with 128k speeds? I think even downloading emails would be ridiculously slow and trying to load some of these webpages out there wouldn’t even be worth the time as the site would probably be updated by the time it showed up in the browser?! I’ve been looking into a new plan, I’m on AT&T and I pay about $90 per month after taxes and that’s only 450 minutes, the lowest plan, and yes I still have “unlimited” data, but I have no texting plan so I pay 25 cent per text but I honestly hate texting so I try not to ever use it but other people text me so I have to pay for them. I don’t know, for me, for as much as I actually use it, it’s not worth the price and I need to get something cheaper but sadly it seems AT&T is the only company that let’s me get phones calls in my house and I’ve tried others. Anyway, the PR is below if you want to see what the new plans are all about..
