T-Mobile USA is trying to top Verizon’s latest move by adding high-definition video and 10GB of high-speed hotspot usage to its $70 unlimited smartphone data plan.
T-Mobile CEO John Legere made the announcement on Twitter today, saying that the T-Mobile One plan will get HD video and the 10GB of high-speed hotspot data per month beginning Friday “at no extra charge.” The T-Mobile One plan costs $70 a month, including taxes and fees. Currently, the $70 plan limits streaming video quality to 480p and caps mobile hotspot speeds at 512kbps, though customers could already pay extra for HD video and high-speed tethering.
