T-Mobile set 1GB G1 3G cap: threaten throttling for heavy users

[DesignDawg]

Again: The language doesn't say they WILL throttle. It says they CAN. That said, I would rather see the limit higher as well, just in case. But for me there are a few points that keep me from losing sleep over this:

It's not as if they are going to charge you or cut you off. They would in theory slow you down. Big difference.

Also, do I think I might break the 1 GB barrier on downloads on my phone? Yes, I do, BUT not on the 3G network. In my experience, there's wifi practically everywhere. Day to day, I have it at work, at home, at my parents', my friends' pretty much everyone's house, and I've found, when hanging with friends, most restaurants even have open wifi networks. The phone will seamlessly jump onto these networks as I understand it, so I would be surprised to see my data usage going over a couple hundred MB. This is the experience my friends are having with their iphones. One of them doesn't even have a data plan (bought his phone without contract), and doesn't miss it.
