T-Mobile Raises Subscriber 'Prioritization Point' to 50 GB

T-Mobile raised its “prioritization point” Wednesday to 50 GB of data per month, from 32 GB. When customers hit that point, they have to get behind other users in the line and could see slower connection speeds in congested areas, Chief Technology Officer Neville Ray blogged. He stressed it isn't a cap and customers don't face throttling: “50GB of data usage means a T-Mobile customer is basically the top 1 percent of data users, and to put it in context, you could stream a full 2 hours of Netflix every single day … and never even reach that point!” T-Mobile customers are streaming more than 1 million hours of Netflix per day, Ray said.
