Except it's exactly what the phrase "begs the question" means.

Begs the question as you want it used isn't really an English phrase, just a group of words given a new meaning due to a historical mistranslation, while the way everyone else uses it is just the English language using actual definitions of words.

They only allowed unlimited tethering for a very brief time.

It's still pretty fair though, I think it's allowed for all capped plans, and my unlimited plan (which they are pretty kind about) comes with 3GB free tethering, with extra for a fair price (looks like this is 5GB now).

Honestly, I've found T-Mobile pretty strait forward with what they include, and it to be generous (compared to others). I get free (slow, but workable for e-mail, yelp, web, and sort-of maps) data worldwide, enough tethering to use in a pinch for most circumstances, with extra available (comporable to other networks price), and and I use data quite high with no issues.

I have the $70 unlimited plan, the $80 that replaced it has 5GB tether.

The price bump from 70-80 came with a reduction in fees too, so it was essentially a wash.

There is no unlimited tethering, and they aren't throttling capped data.

They are throttling phone based P2P, and (as I read it) separately, unauthorized tethering.

WoW distribution, needing to be tethered, would be capped data and not throttled.

It's people like me that have downloaded movies on the go to watch that would be throttled.
