T-Mobile announces Binge On, a free video streaming service that doesn’t use up your data

John Legere took the stage at today’s Uncarrier X event Los Angeles to announce its plan to change the way each of us consume video on our mobile devices. Well, each of us that are T-Mobile subscribers anyway.

The announcement had a heavy video focus and featured the arrival of a new feature that allows you to use unlimited high speed data for watching a select number of video services over 4G without using up your LTE data.

The appropriately named Binge On currently supports the following platforms, with more to follow:

HBO
Netflix
Hulu
Sling
Fox Sports

And others… a total of 24 sites currently.

BingeOn is a free service for all T-Mobile customers much like the previously announced Music Freedom, which allowed you the same data savings when streaming music over 4G LTE connections.

Update: Legere later announced a new optimization strategy for digital video content that allows for faster streaming, uses less data on their end, and improves output to “at least” DVD quality over 4G LTE.
