New York says T-Mobile broke affordable broadband law with 50GB home Internet cap; settlement requires limits removed

New York officials alleged T-Mobile violated the Affordable Broadband Act by capping required low-income wireless home Internet plans at 50GB a month and slowing service to under 1 Mbps. Under a settlement, T-Mobile must remove the data and speed limits, expand plan availability in more parts of the state, and make plan information easier to find within 120 days.

The settlement requires T-Mobile to remove limits and expand availability within 120 days, giving eligible customers more usable service; customers and service planners should check when the changes take effect in their area. The article does not specify the plans’ post-settlement prices or the exact locations where they will be offered.
