Hi,
I've heard bits about t-mobile's full monty having a speed cap. Is that any tariff branded as full monty? How can they differentiate between that and any other tariff? Is it just after a certain amount of data used?
Thanks in advance. Answers appreciated as seen a good deal on a sim only.

These restrictions weren't in place when I started my contract, so be aware that T-Mobile can change it whenever they wish.
-4mbps download and 1mbps upload speed cap at all times
-Tethering not allowed
-P2P throttled between 8am and 8pm
It's a very good deal at £16pm if you're a heavy user and don't care about the speed caps or restriction on tethering.
Limited time offer.
If you ring up retentions they were giving away the deal for £11pm to some existing customers recently.
At 21 pounds a month it's not really cheap you might as well pay the 4 extra pounds and get the one plan as then you don't get capped and you get no restrictions on tethering and three uses same masts so coverage will eventually be the same.
I tether all the time and I am on Full Monty.
Yeah, me too. The contract prohibits it but they don't actively block it.
I know, I know. At the time the 'offer' was £21 a month reduced from £31 for SIM only. I was torn between T-Mobile and Three. I didn't even need the One Plan really and it would have been cheaper to go with Three (about £16 a month I think). I wanted the security of the combined Orange/T-Mobile network and 2G fallback. But there's been so much network disruption and poor service that I'll probably switch to Three in November anyway.
Totally agree. I stupidly left three in March and am heading straight back in March. What was I thinking?
Don't do it is my advice. Dropped calls, slow Internet, no
Internet. Stay with three.
Notice how i worded it.
I said "Tethering not allowed" rather than "Tethering blocked".
According to the T&C tethering is not allowed and T-Mobile can cut you off for doing it.
In real life there are conflicting reports with some being allowed to tether and others being blocked. Those on the legacy Full Monty plan from when it first launched are still officially allowed to tether.
the upshot is I got £10 per month off my full monty so I only pay £26 a month, but they removed the speed cap and I can tether too
if you find the speeds poor (I was getting 0.02 in Manc city centre) it's worth complaining to Level 2/CEO office
It's not very full monty having limited speeds.
Before anyone says it, the local EE mast at work is fed with ADSL and used heavily during work hours.
With three I can happily stream from my plex server all day long - hence the need for speed.
