Throughout the end of the week, Verizon announced another unlimited data plan for $80 every month, plan to rival T-Mobile's ONE data plan that provides unlimited data to $70 every month.
To separate itself from T-Mobile, Verizon promised 10GB of tethering data for each month and full HD video streaming, two offers that have prodded T-Mobile to offer the same benefits.
As of this evening, T-Mobile CEO John Legere has announced that T-Mobile ONE subscribers will be able to stream HD video and will get 10GB of high-speed data at no additional charge. Legere has also announced a promotion that will see T-Mobile offering costumers two lines with unlimited data for $100 every month, a $20 % off of the standard $120 value point and $40 cheaper than two lines on Verizon's new unlimited plan.
Previous to Verizon's announcement, the T-Mobile ONE plan provided unlimited hotspot data that was limited to 2G speeds, with an option to pay for 5GB of data for an extra $15 every month.
Concerning video, the ONE plan initially limited customers of 480p "optimized" video given for free through its Binge On the program, however, clients will now have the capacity to stream Binge On content in a higher resolution by default. T-Mobile has not given particular details on the new resolution that'll be accessible to ONE subscriber, yet "HD" likely equates to 720p.
The addition of 10GB LTE tethering data and better quality video streaming is a big win for T-Mobile clients, and the new additions once again make T-Mobile the more appealing wireless carrier, with the company offering better features for customers at a lower cost.
With Verizon now offering an unlimited data plan, all four of the major carrier in the United States have unlimited data offerings, a major change from a couple of years back when AT&T and Verizon wiped out unlimited data. T-Mobile's "Un-carrier" initiatives over the recent years have started some real changes to the mobile wireless market, bringing about the critical rivalry that is brought positive changes for subscribers.
For a single person, T-Mobile's ONE plan is estimated at $70 every month, MacRumors cited.While Verizon charges $65 in addition to a $20 device fee. Sprint charges $55 every month for a single subscriber, and AT&T's unlimited plan is just accessible to AT&T U-verse or DirecTV subscribers.The new T-Mobile ONE benefits will be accessible to T-Mobile subscribers beginning on Friday, February 17.
