How useful this data-plan would be reduced because of the 5GB cap. But it's not that bad.

I don't need intenet on a smartphone that I can carry in my pocket. If I have mobile internet for my laptop, with a cap of like 10 or 15GB, and good speeds that is more than enough.

I think I pay $30 for the data plan. I couldn't find anything cheaper than that, yet, that fits my requirements. I'm still searching.

If you have been with T-Mobile for more than 2 years, you can ask for a cheaper plan e.g. 20 Dollars for the smart phone plan. (5 G limit too)

$10 data plan (grand father unlimited web plan) is exists but wont get you the speed as fast as the $20.

So you are correct, 5 GB would be the limit before tmobile throttle it down.

For 10 GB or 15GB, maybe check clearwire or get another tmobile sim card :P

The only catch is make sure you are on their 4G (unlimited), if you romaing to 3G then there is a limit. (2GB if not mistaken).

Since you are using > 5 GB, cant u use your own ISP at home ? and only use tmobile when u are outside ?
