T-Mobile illegally imposed 50 GB cap on low-income home Internet plan, NY says
Law requires 25Mbps home Internet. T-Mobile lowers speed to 600Kbps after 50GB cap.
New York state officials have accused T-Mobile of breaking a law by putting a 50 GB data cap on its low-income home Internet plans and slowing down speeds to under a megabit per second. As part of a settlement, the telecom giant must scrap those limits, offer the plans in more areas of the state, and make it simpler for customers to understand their options.
T-Mobile must complete these changes within 120 days. The dispute centers on T-Mobile's wireless home Internet service, separate from its mobile plans. New York Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James revealed the settlement on Monday, explaining that a state probe uncovered a violation of the New York Affordable Broadband Act (ABA).
