Inside tip confirms new T-Mobile data plans

[tiki]

I can understand having a cap.

But doubling the price of our internet plans? F that.

"From my understanding it is for new customers. If they changed this plan option for current customers that would be grounds for ending your contract without paying an early termination fee (ETF)."

Ah lets hope thats true. Because seriously, if they tried this, and some other company has come out with a better piece of hardware running Android- I'm OUT

The great thing about Android is that one company is not going to have you by the nuts to get it. And every 6 months a better piece of hardware is gonna come out running it on various carriers. So its gonna create some nice healthy competition

And I'm already wanting a hardware upgrade

I dono about you guys but i signed a 2 year contract for UNLIMITED internet use, if they change their contract on me like this and LIMIT me on something i signed a contract for UNLIMITED doesn't this void the contract?

I think its horse **** and 10 gb is not much data at all... think about if you use myspace without the silly app. Even at that I'm paying for what is said to be UNLIMITED yet their gonna change it on me AFTER i sign a contract for 2 years. GG t-mobile GFG

10GB is a crapton of bandwidth, you guys out there that say it isnt obviously dont know anything about data transfer, now if you are DLing a lot of stuff then ya thats not a lot but for surfing and small dls (phone usage) you will likely not exceed 1GB a month unless you have a constant data stream going (like a server) even streaming video and music you would be hard pressed to meet that cap UNLESS you were streaming almost constantly we are talking about roughly 10,000MB of data the average song is 3-6MB and videos are usually 20-100 so worst case your getting about 1500 songs or 1000 videos or comination thereof not bad if you ask me.

BUT it would be messed to institute the cap on users that have already signed a contract for unlimited. Tmo is good about Grandfathering people on thier plans I have voice plan with them that hasnt been available for 2.5years. But if they do change it for current users that is grounds to leave your contract w/o penalty although you may need to have a lawyer help you.

The 10Gb cap doesn't concern me but the price increase does.

Crossing my fingers then that it effects all people.

my 3G connection sucks, so I turned it OFF. Even then, my fab 2G connection blipped out the other night. 3 calls to tmo and it was finally resurrected.

Hey guys,

"Unlimited" just means that you can transfer as much data as you want. They are not cutting off your data, they are simply capping the speed once you go over 10gb. You will still have the internet, just not at the full speed.

Tethering? T-Mobile already said that their service was not to be used for tethering. They said they won't stop people from using tethering software, but it is against their terms to use tethering.

As already stated -- their network is not meant to be your source of internet at home. Bandwidth is shared and while you're sucking it all up downloading with your home computer, everyone else on the network is suffering.

I have no problem with the 10gb limit. I will never reach it, and I'm glad that T-Mobile is taking an initiative to prevent people from constantly sucking down bandwidth I could be using.

Personally I'm all for these new and improved definitions of words! If "unlimited" means "up to 10gb at normal speeds, then throttled to 50k/s," I also propose the definition of "pay" be "to provide money for services until the bill reaches $80, in which case only $0.10 on every dollar thereafter is provided."

I also propose the word "workweek" to be redefined as "2 days during the week in which people perform menial tasks yet are paid as if they worked 7", and "children" be redefined as "offspring which can be sold for medical experiments, the lot of them".

How much are we talking about per kid? Age/size matter? I've got 2 that are begging to leave.
