The new $70-per-month “unlimited data” plans announced by T-Mobile USA this month came with some big limits. Mobile hotspot speeds were to be throttled to 128kbps unless customers paid more, and online video resolution reduced to 480p unless customers paid extra to unlock high-definition video.

But after a wave of criticism from those who think T-Mobile is violating net neutrality and others who think the new deal just isn’t that good, the carrier today announced some changes. It’s a mixed bag, though, as there is apparently no way to permanently enable high-definition video, and T-Mobile is killing an option that would have let customers buy high-speed hotspot data in 5GB increments.

“The best way to run your company is to shut up, listen to your customers, and then do what they say!” T-Mobile CEO John Legere said in the announcement.
