Briefings

New York government officials allege T-Mobile illegally imposed a 50GB monthly data cap and reduced speeds to under 1 Mbps on low-income home Internet plans, violating the New York Affordable Broadband Act. A settlement was reached requiring T-Mobile to eliminate these speed limits and expand plan availability within 120 days. The incident concerns T-Mobile's wireless home Internet service, not its mobile plans, and was announced by Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James.

Key points

• T-Mobile violated the New York Affordable Broadband Act by imposing a 50GB monthly data cap and reducing speeds to less than 1 Mbps on low-income home Internet plans.
• A settlement was reached requiring T-Mobile to eliminate the speed limits and expand plan availability within 120 days.

Context

Governor Kathy Hochul and New York Attorney General Letitia James announced the settlement on Monday following a state investigation. The violation occurred specifically on T-Mobile's wireless home Internet service, not the company's mobile plans.

Limitations

Evidence covers only the alleged violation and settlement details; specific customer data, settlement terms beyond the 120-day deadline, and long-term impact are not fully documented.
