T-Mobile CEO John Legere is regarded by many as one of the most exciting yet provocative person in the tech community, but he also knows when he crosses the line and become unprofessional.

On Monday, Legere apologized for the offensive comments he issued last week regarding the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Legere made the comment following the much heated debate over T-Mobile's Binge On unlimited streaming service.

For some Net Neutrality activists, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation, T-Mobile's Binge On service violates some stipulations when it comes to the use of a totally free Internet. Binge On allows T-Mobile users to stream unlimited amount of online video, but only for selected and supported services, without hurting their monthly data caps.

While majority of T-Mobile customers applauded Binge On services, some Internet activists, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation, accused T-Mobile of slowing down or throttling Internet video traffic even if a customer is not subscribed to Binge On or when the network is not congested.

YouTube, the largest online video streaming platform, also accuses T-Mobile of throttling its traffic since they are not affiliated with Binge On.

In a statement acquired by PC Mag, Legere responded to all the allegations saying, "What Binge On does, it includes a proprietary technology and what the technology does is not only detect the video stream but select the appropriate bit rate to optimize to the video, the mobile device."

Legere then went on to lambaste the EFF which is one of the main proponents of all the accusations being thrown to T-Mobile. The T-Mobile even went as far as dropping the F-word which caused a massive backlash to his persona as well as the company.

Negative comments have stirred several social media platforms and several reports claim that a video company decided to halt its participation in Binge On following the outrage of some of its users.

In Legere's open letter published on the T-Mobile website, he apologized to the EFF regarding his negative comments about the organization. Legere said, "Just because we don't completely agree on all aspects of Binge On doesn't mean I don't see how they fight for consumers."
