He went into it thinking he was going to buy a family plan, was then told he could get a free tablet if he wanted to add it to the bundle and he could call with it. It was a whole sales pitch that wrangled him into getting it, it was not a planned purchase... not saying it was a 100% sound purchase.

It's like you buying a F-150 raptor, walk in to get it, then they tell you it comes with a mounted 50 Cal in the back for free. Then when you get home with it, you are then told you have to pay overage fee's every time you want to use over 10 bullets per month after you took it somewhere and shot off like 100 rounds.

Well when you read a contract it's all in there...

On one hand, T-Mobile is getting some major publicity, on the other... carriers that don't cut off the data flow after the limit is hit and charge ridiculous fee's costing a customer over 3 times their regular bill is a little outrageous. Throttling makes a lot more sense than price gouging your customers for data.
 
A lot of these carriers are not keeping up with the times. The usage on the newer phones that have 1080p screens will take up a lot more bandwidth that the older 480p phones, because Netflix, YouTube, Hulu+, and all of the other streaming services will automatically give you the highest resolution it can stream at... I see about 24GB of usage on my phone every month using my Note 3. It was half that on my LG Optimus G, and about a quarter of that usage on my HTC EVO 3D.

RainStryke is correct.  
 
Example of my usage as of now.
 
I/We have Sprint's org 1500 Shared Family Talk, Unlimited Text and Data Plan.  Our devices, my HTC Evo LTE avg 6-8GB a month alone.  My wife's Galaxy S4 is 4.5-4.9GB and my daughter's Samsung Galaxy S 2 about 1.5-2GB a month.  That's 12GB on the low end.  I would be paying a butt load from other carriers.  My bill avg is $168 a month for 3 lines.  NO ONE and I mean NO ONE carrier can touch that.  

Again, that's a stupid amount of data to use amongst 3 people. No one says you need to stream everything and anything. Yes, facebook can wait til you get home, so can streaming spotify/pandora. No you don't need to use youtube all the time, and you certainly don't need to stream netflix on a flipping phone.
 
Seriously, if you're so dependent on data, use WiFi, or suck up the price and pony up the cash.
 
Literally your argument is that you can afford a Ferrari but not the gas it takes to run the car. Its just silly how ridic customers are.
 
I agree with Rush.

Well I don't worry about my data.  I've still got true unlimited.  Plus our wifi at work is a joke.  Never work...umm the IT guys are idiots.  That's another story.  So on breaks/lunches I'll watch whatever I hadn't finished previously.  I've got LTE mostly everywhere I go now in Phoenix with Sprint.  So I don't worry about speeds or the amount of data I use.  When I'm at home.  I don't use my phone at all unless I get a phone call or random text.  That's it.

then dont complain about overages

Why can't people just be smart about choosing something that works for them? I mean, Z3R0 said he's on sprint, Which means he doesn't worry about overages, But yet he still complains because the companies are trying to do them with no lube. Really? Jesus christ.
