T-Mobile recently implemented a new policy that will favor phone performance over smartphone-based mobile hotspots when the network is congested. "Because we want to provide customers with the best on-device experience, our network is now designed to prioritize data on your T-Mobile smartphone, tablet or mobile internet devices, over smartphone mobile hotspot data," said T-Mobile on its web site. The company says most subscribers likely won't notice any change in performance when using their phone as a hotspot. T-Mobile did not say how slow smartphone hotspot speeds might be. The updated policy applies to all T-Mobile plans, including T-Mobile One and Simple Choice.
