Think T-Mobile Popped The Caps? Think Again.... And Again!

Bound to happen, even verizons data plan got a limit per month.
I dont think we`ll get a real "Unlimited" total internet anytime soon, thats still a lot on dial up speed err I mean Edge :P

Just a quickie update. I looked through it and still yet theres no date set in stone yet when the caps and throttling kick in.

MotoZINE out Nov. 3rd.

Just for some comparison, I use bit torrent pretty much all the time.

I used about 45GB worth of upload and 40GB of download for the entirety of October (this info is from my outer so it includes all traffic on my home network that consists of two desktops, and 3 laptops). I don't know what kinds of habits you would have to hit the 10GB mark on the G1 but I can't imagine it would actually be easy to do.

Just to re-warn everyone the web2go launches Nov. 15-16th. This is also when the Sidekick plan goes way up and the throttling begins.

GET YOUR SIDEKICKS NOW!!!!! BEFORE THE RATEPLAN GOES UP!!!!!!

How can you possibly hit 10GB anyways? I mean, you'd pretty much have to LIVE on your phone every for a month straight to even come close, much less surpass it.

how do you find out how mand gb you used? do u have to call tmobile. i thinks its bull. but way better than the 1gb at they tried to govern first. it probally is possible if your on youtube alot or steam music.

First of all I don't think that it would be horrible if they set a limit. It's more important to me to have faster data then an infinate amount. Besides most people won't use that much, it's those few people that are constantly using data that slows down the whole network. 1GB is a little low but maybe like 5GB. But the next step would be for them to release an application that tracks the bandwith, because without a way to track how much data your using it wouldn't be fair for them to limit it.

10gb is plenty for a phone. if you're exceeding that, you need counseling or a pc.

I am on wifi all the time so I am not that worried, but last month when I called TMobile they haven't start tracking data usage yet. Don't know the situation of the tracking now.

I have about 600 emails in my gmail. Hopefully syncing my gmail won't eat a lot of bandwidth.

yeah,.. if anything, the initial sync may have been a little hit, but subsequent syncs just transfer new/edited items and delete old ones
