TMobile now lets you stream Netflix and HBO without using data

We had a feeling this was coming, and Legere just confirmed things during an event in LA, describing the move as “disrupting the scam” that is cellular data. It works a lot like Music Freedom, which T-Mobile introduced in June last year. It works with 24 different services including Netflix, HBO, Hulu, Sling TV, Watch ESPN, Vevo, and all kinds of others. T-Mobile calls the service BingeON. It’s all free.

Of course like Music Freedom, you could also say that this move falls under Net Neutrality scrutiny, since T-Mobile users would most likely be more inclined to use services tied up in T-Mobile’s free streaming plan rather than a smaller service (or more importantly) some future Netflix trying to enter the video streaming game. But Legere says it won’t be a problem and allows for any service to join the program (that meets their technical specifications) and will allow customers to offer input for future services.

Another announcement that’s a bit on the smaller scale (but not much) is that T-Mobile is bumping all Simple Choice data plans by double. So the original 1GB, 3GB, and 5GB tiers are now 2GB, 6GB, and 10GB for no extra cash (unlimited is still unlimited, obviously).

T-Mobile is not fucking around. There will be a day where they just say fuck it, no data caps and everything is free all for one price. That would be the day I switch over to them. Someone is going to do it... Lets hope.

I love how people just think they are starting to "not mess around."

T-mobile has been killing it for well over a year now with promotions and giving things that ATT, and Verizon haven't been able to touch. I switched to them from Verizon and haven't looked back. So far it's been nothing but great. A few times I haven't had their service in weird ass locations, but then I usually have wi-fi where you then get to make wi-fi calls no problem.

No complaints, and the data for music freedom has been unreal. I haven't gone over 2.5 GB's in one month yet since I switched over a year ago. Now doubling data? Thanks! Now I pay 59 bucks a month for 6 GB's of data.
