T-Mobile just announced a new program that lets its subscribers binge-watch video from a few select sources, without any of that streaming counting against their data caps.

So if you want to watch every episode of Game of Thrones on HBO Go or a bunch of Netflix shows all in a row, you can and you won’t get charged extra.
