Binge On was announced by T-Mobile in November last year. It’s a new service that enables its customers to stretch their mobile data even further when streaming video online. Users can stream video in DVD-quality or better from partner services without having it count against their data allotment. Binge On already has a few dozen services onboard and now it has added the world’s largest online video sharing website.
YouTube is now supported by Binge On, this means that T-Mobile users who are on the program can stream videos in DVD-quality or better from the premier online video sharing service without having to worry about burning through their mobile data.
Other services that have been added today include Redbull TV, Discovery Go, Fox Business, Baeble Music and more. More than 50 video services are now streaming free with Binge On. Magenta revealed today that since this program was launched more than 57 million GB of data has been streamed without any of it counting against users’ allocations.
Since there has been criticism about the way T-Mobile restricts streaming resolutions for supported services, the carrier is now providing video services with new options and give them more control over how Binge On’s video optimization applies to their content.
They can choose to stream content at native resolutions, including Ultra HD and above, without the mobile optimization which would eat up data allocations faster but will provide a better experience for users.
