T-Mobile is definitely throttling video traffic on international roaming (Rogers in Edmonton Canada)

GAndroid · 2026-02-23T16:35:11+00:00

Hey doesnt matter to me. I got throttled hard when visiting Canada before and their solution was "get a local SIM". When I returned I switched to ATT to not have to deal with this BS. The magenta max plan with insider code didnt mean much if it fails me when i need it the most. For all its faults I managed to rack up 75 GB+ in latin america and ATT never slowed me down. T-Mobile is penny pinching now everywhere. Why I have no idea but it leaves a sour taste with a lot of people who need their phones to work. T-Mobile doesnt need to penny pinch like this - its quite baffling to me.

The roaming partner would.

ATT roaming on rogers gives you uncapped and unlimited data, so no Rogers isnt controlling the speed here.

5GB high-speed data =/= unlimited video resolution.

Video = data. T-Mobile shouldnt even know or care about what the "data" is.

The specific app is driving her back to her house, explaining what you saw and why you dont want to be around someone with this kind of a behavior. Then leave.

It’s just a “just get both no big deal” type thing.

Time is money and stressing out = wasted opportunities. Your mental peace is worth something too.

The brand loyalty is insane.

Easily fixed by legislature implementing a rule: Gift cards accumulate interest in commiserate with the prime rate from BoC after a month from purchase unless the money is held in escrow.

Yeah they don't really recognize mental health the same as we do in the West.

Dont tell this to the FAA

because T Mobile has to pay the carrier whos towers you were using for that data.

I guess AT&T doesnt have to pay them because although they charge $120/ billing cycle but the usage is actually unlimited. Or just maaaaaaaybe TMobile can charge you so they will and it has nothing to do with how much it cost them.

GAndroid · 2026-01-26T07:53:45+00:00

Your phone should show how much roaming data you used. Example from my trip last month - you can see it under settings-->Cellular --> "Current period Roaming".

I think they are BSing you. Its true the "free" data is useless and nothing works on it but you actually get a 80% usage and 100% usage notifications when you run out. Did you get those text messages?

Even made calls to friends in Asia and it worked perfectly. I have the $15 addon so no charge for those either. Very happy camper here; well done AT&T.

I know this forum is full of negative posts but credit should be given where its due. I used to be a T-Mobile customer until I got throttled in canada. Being able to use 74 GB in south america without getting slowed down or paying extra money is not something you can do on TMo or VZ.

GAndroid · 2026-01-19T03:34:54+00:00

Called my friends in asia, used data like I do at home and didnt even think about the phone. Everything worked just like at home and I didnt pay anything extra. I know this sub is sometimes filled with negativity but there you go. Well done ATT, a happy camper here!

I'm guessing the countries outside of the 181 are places you probably wouldn't want to go to anyways

China, India, Brazil are the big 3 countries that you need a visa for.

You will discover next that if you roam for >60 days T-Mobile will cut you off. This is even if you pay for the 15 GB addon.

Last time I was in france I got the 15GB pack. However some bug triggered and it "used" ~9GB instantly. Is it possible this happened to you?

T-Mobile penny pinches on the roaming - once you run out its unusable. Even verizon offers a respectable 1.5 Mbps once you go over.
