T-Mobile starting tomorrow will be going after thieves that are stealing as much as 2 terabytes of data from the company each month. The carrier’s unlimited plans offer 7GB of high-speed data for tethering, but a handful of customers have found a way to bypass that cap entirely.
T-Mobile says there are applications out there promising to hide a user’s tethering activities from the carrier, giving customers free access to as much data as they want. However, the telecommunications provider says it has developed technologies to go after these abusers.
The carrier is bent on not letting a few bad apples ruin the unlimited data plan for everybody. John Legere in a blog post said that they “started this wireless revolution to change the industry for good and to fight for consumers,” and that won’t be ruined by a few people abusing the system.
Starting today, these users will receive warnings from T-Mobile asking them to stop. If they don’t listen to said warning, the abusers will permanently banned from T-Mobile’s unlimited data plan and be put on a entry-level package.
Let’s just hope these new efforts will stop the abusers.
