You clearly have no idea about Howard forums.

No. internet2.voicestream.com is the APN for full (smartphone) internet. It was used for the
old Total Internet Add-On plan which used to cost $19.99 (unlimited data and Wi-Fi hotspots). There were only two internet plans back then: Total Internet and T-Zones ($5.99). However, T-Zones used to be cheaper and was offered many (limited) times at discount prices. This was before they even offered EDGE!
After the release of the iPhone and the discovery of the proxy hack, T-Mobile realized they had to retire T-Zones (I'm sure there were other reasons). T-Zones used to use wap.voicestream.com as its APN which had port restrictions; in layman's terms: no YouTube, no instant messengers, limited streaming if that, and a very slow gateway.
Then with the release of the G1, epc.tmobile.com became the new de facto APN and internet2 started to retire. Hence Spooky's label of
Legacy. Epc could even be used with T-Zones with no port restrictions, which eventually led to the proxy hack's retirement. T-Zones users finally had full web access for $5.99 (or less) at a faster speed (there are claims that epc uses compression to speed up loading).
All new internet plans are meant to use the epc.tmobile.com APN. T-Mobile even uses this APN for MMS too (instead of wap.voicestream.com)! Anyone grandfathered on the old Total Internet package is advised to use the (once again)
Legacy bundle -> grandfather(ed), legacy. Get the connection?
You keep telling people to use internet2 yet you have no idea about their plan history. That is why it is always good to link them to the
carrier bundle thread and let them work from there.
Just because an APN works for you doesn't mean it'll work for everyone. Not every T-Mobile network across the country works the same. I have web2go and internet2.voicestream.com does
not work for me -> "You are not subscribed to a cellular data service." Yet the old wap and new epc APNs work just fine.
The spreading of disinformation is
not the best way to help anyone.
