Thursday's announcement on Binge On's growth also included support for a variety of other streaming services such as Baeble Music, Discovery GO, ESNE TV, FilmOn.TV, Fox Business, KlowdTV, and Red Bull TV. This shows the totality of more than 50 supported services which entitles 70 percent of all the watched videos by T-Mobile customers each month on their devices.
Legere said, "The facts are clear, Binge On is a runaway hit, and adding these services is just huge. Now T-Mobile customers can watch all of the videos they want from these platforms without even touching their high-speed data."
