Law requires 25Mbps home Internet. T-Mobile lowers speed to 600Kbps after 50GB cap.

I use TMobile and do Internet using tethered data from my phone. That's MY cap... I'm doing fine every month for a couple of days until I hit 50GB, and then it's 600Kbps for the rest of the month. It's kind of miserable, but I can watch YouTube at 480p and I can play WoW. The minimum cost, with minimal phone service: ~ $80/month . And I've tried throwing money at TMobile but they don't offer better service to PAYING customers, let alone their charity cases.
