I don't use T-Mobile, but depending on the plan you have with them, they
definitely throttle throughput. You get a certain amount of high speed
data and then you're throttled until the next billing cycle starts.

Hi Nimit,
I can't answer your question about T-Mobile's throttling policy, but if you
have WiFi your phone will automatically use it if you are within reach of
your network, there is no need to turn off cellular data. You can always
check if you are on WiFi simply by touching the time at the middle of the
status bar, then flick left once. If Voiceover says "3G" or whatever it says
if you have an iPhone 5 and are on 4G/LTE, well, then you are on cellular
data. If you are connected to your WiFi it will announce the signal strength
and it will say one of 3 things:
3 of 3 bars, WiFi signal strength
2 of 3 bars, WiFi signal strength
1 of 3 bars, WiFi signal strength
Obviously 3 of 3 means it has the best reception, 2 of 3 means it's pretty
good, 1 of 3 means it gets not a very strong WiFi signal. The iPhone is
extremely good at automatically switching to WiFi and if gives you a WiFi
signal strength to the left of the time you are definitely on WiFi.
Regards,
Sieghard

Subject: T-Mobile and Cellular Data suggestions/questions
Hello all, Well, I wanted to know any data savings tips I can get and
about your t-mobile experience on cellular data. Well, I just had to
use the data for a while, because there was no wifi available where I
am right now. Well, so, I soly had to rely on cellular data. I do
have unlimited, but it is from t-mobile. Can any of you t-mobile
customers tell me how they are? Are they the ones that also degrade
your speed? I heard on this list, many companies do that, so I was
wondering and what you guys do to save your data. At home, now that I
have wifi, I turn my cellular data off by setting, general, cellular
data on and double tap to put it off. I am guessing that's the trick.
But, I only used my data for my emails, listening to tune in radio,
and couple youtube videos here and there. That's all. So, any advice
would be helpful.
