T-Mobile has agreed to remove data caps and enhance access to low-cost home internet plans in New York following an investigation that revealed the company was significantly slowing internet speeds for customers on affordable plans. New York's Affordable Broadband Act mandates that large internet providers offer eligible households internet service for $15 per month at speeds of at least 25 Mbps. The investigation found that T-Mobile was reducing speeds by over 97% after customers exceeded a 50 GB data limit, despite advertising higher speeds. Under the new agreement, T-Mobile will ensure consistent download speeds of 25 Mbps and expand affordable plans to all service areas while improving the visibility of these plans online. Eligible households can qualify for reduced-cost internet based on government benefits or income, with further details available at broadband.ny.gov/consumer-resources.
