I read that the data speed is rather slow with the new T-Mobile Simple Choice Goes Global. See below quote.
Does anyone have any real life experience using data, especially with regards to using Google Maps.
In advance, thank you.
But in nearly all cases, users only get EDGE connectivity, which is not much faster than old-fashioned dial-up; between 120Kbps and 384Kbps. Contrast that with the 4G/LTE speeds that are increasingly the norm in the United States; depending on the carrier they can hit 20Mbps or even 50Mbps, although average speeds are more like 7Mbps, according to RootMetrics, which tests wireless network performance. Even 3G speeds average around 1.5 Mbps. If you’re a T-Mobile customer roaming abroad, using GPS, making hotel reservations or checking timetables - the things I did the most in Europe - will be really, really difficult.
