This is my preference. I think the only reason T-Mobile offers unlimited music streaming is that it typically consumes <= 256 kbps. I would much rather they offered an "economy mode" switch where I could throttle my entire device and browse whatever I wanted.

T-Mobile offers unlimited music streaming because it is marketable. They are a third-wheel carrier, so they are hustling hard in search of a way to differentiate themselves, and "Unlimited Music" is going to be a much more successful ad campaign than "Unlimited 256kbps Browsing"

FWIW I am a T-Mobile customer.

So market it as "Unlimited Music" and implement it as "Unlimited 256kbps browsing".
