Can someone explain this whole 1Gb a month limit thing?

[Jorsher]

If they can decide to no longer grant the service promised ("unlimited" data) with no penalty on their part how come I can't decide to no longer pay them for that service without getting hit with extra charges and fees?

Because they tell you before you get the services what the limitations are. You are allowed an unlimited amount of data, as the name states.

I don't like the limit, but I understand it and appreciate that they are letting me know in advance. It's not a definite, they're just letting you know before you get the phone and 2 year contract, and flip out when they enact those rules 6 months into your contract.

It sucks but it's not a surprise. How would you feel if you desperately needed directions to the hospital or something, and every 3G user was sucking up bandwidth tethering and using bittorrent :P Highly unlikely, but it's just to assure that everyone will get decent service, and I'm sure the limit will go up once 3G is fully in place.
