So is there a concensus here on whether or not TMO total internet plans should stick with the internet2 APN or go with the epc APN? Or does it not matter at all?

People with GPS problems: I accidentally discovered that GPS worked perfectly for me when I took the SIM out of the N900. Later I discovered the same was true when I had "Always Ask" as the setting under Internet Connection and was NOT connected to the Tmobile service at all. (Usually I'm connected to wireless at my house and GPS works fine there.)
Something to consider...

I used to have the grandfathered $5.99 data plan using epc.tmobile.com APN.
I recently changed my plan to the Even More Plus and had to sign up for the $10 data plan. Initially, I couldn't access the web or receive emails. Every time I tried to open a website, I was redirected to a t-mobile website saying I have to upgrade.
I popped my SIM card in a regular phone and web pages were loading with no problem. Then I put the SIM card back into my N900 and changed the APN settings to internet2.voicestream.com and everything was working again. I ran a speed test on speedtest.net and got the same down/up and latency as before (0.95Mbps/0.2Mbps and 100ms).
My conclusion is that with the $10 data plan, the APN has to be set to internet2.voicestream.com to be usable.

On a related matter, with accounts set with the $10 Web Unlimited plan when going into "account management" it wants to convert that data plan option to a $10 250MB option... apparently, good for any smartphone as they advertise access to 4G.
Has anyone done the conversion, any pros / cons...? Did anyone do tethering with the $10 Web Unlimited plan?
