Hell, take very classy thing that Bell, Telus, Rogers, and Fido have ever done, put them together, and it's not this classy. Sadly, that says more for the state of the Canadian wireless industry than it does for TMobile.]]>Sep 24th 2008 9:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/t-mobile-kills-the-1gb-data-cap-takes-a-more-friendly-approach/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/t-mobile-kills-the-1gb-data-cap-takes-a-more-friendly-approach/

Unless I am totally mistaken and people "overusing" the bandwith won't even have an effect on me. In that case, I don't care.

Wonder if I will get super low ranked for this... let's find out...]]>Sep 24th 2008 7:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/t-mobile-kills-the-1gb-data-cap-takes-a-more-friendly-approach/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/t-mobile-kills-the-1gb-data-cap-takes-a-more-friendly-approach/Sep 24th 2008 7:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/t-mobile-kills-the-1gb-data-cap-takes-a-more-friendly-approach/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/t-mobile-kills-the-1gb-data-cap-takes-a-more-friendly-approach/Sep 24th 2008 7:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/t-mobile-kills-the-1gb-data-cap-takes-a-more-friendly-approach/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/t-mobile-kills-the-1gb-data-cap-takes-a-more-friendly-approach/
However, some users like myself who like to listen to internet radio, watches TV through the net, etc would feel the FULL effects of such actions.

When the iPhone 3G came out, for that one month that I had the iPhone, i used a total of 5GB of bandwidth. Thats from just surfing the web, using youtube, and listening to internet radio! 1GB of bandwidth CERTAINLY is not enough the G1. ]]>Sep 24th 2008 7:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/t-mobile-kills-the-1gb-data-cap-takes-a-more-friendly-approach/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/t-mobile-kills-the-1gb-data-cap-takes-a-more-friendly-approach/
Oh God, get the fuck out of here you luntaitc. "BORDERLINE TROLLING." For expressing my opinion on bandwith throttling, and that I think in some cases it does make sense? I guess if you don't agree, that's trolling, hm?

You'll notice the user beneath your reply, replying to me in a completely rational manner. Try it sometime.]]>Sep 24th 2008 8:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/t-mobile-kills-the-1gb-data-cap-takes-a-more-friendly-approach/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/t-mobile-kills-the-1gb-data-cap-takes-a-more-friendly-approach/
((48 (kilobit / s)) * 3 hours) * 20 = 1.23596191 gigabytes. 3 hours commuting each weekday would put me over the top of their previous limit. And this is barring any other sort of activity I'd do from day to day like browsing, google maps etc.

Is 3 hours of low-bitrate traffic a day, spanning about 15-20 cellsites (I commute 17 miles each way by bus daily) "excessive?" I personally don't think so.

With my current Blackberry, even browsing a lot has made it use up 600 megabytes this month.

I am all for having reasonable limits, and policing those who abuse the service (leeching 700 meg linux cd isos for example, via aircard or data connection to the phone) but 1gb for a media/network centric device is too low. I praise T-Mobile for listening to the consumers and potential new customers of theirs. I'm on Sprint now, but October 22nd I'm porting my #, selling my Curve on eBay, and eating the termination fee. I just resigned for 2 more years in June when I got the Curve, but they can go the way of the bitbucket, considering the BB is too closed, WinMo BITES, and no other feature phone can come close with multitasking.

I'm being serious here. I hear that Verizon and AT&T are capping their data plans at 5G. Is that a lot or too small for the average user?]]>Sep 24th 2008 7:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/t-mobile-kills-the-1gb-data-cap-takes-a-more-friendly-approach/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/t-mobile-kills-the-1gb-data-cap-takes-a-more-friendly-approach/
I won't be satisfied, however, until I see the final terms of the agreement. ]]>Sep 24th 2008 8:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/t-mobile-kills-the-1gb-data-cap-takes-a-more-friendly-approach/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/t-mobile-kills-the-1gb-data-cap-takes-a-more-friendly-approach/
I suspect that 5GB will settle in as an acceptable level for the current generation of phones. If you use it as a tethered modem though this isn't going to be anywhere near enough. A single hour of hulu for example is probably 200MB by itself, and that's not the still coming "HD" video either. Even ignoring bittorrent etc.]]>Sep 24th 2008 8:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/t-mobile-kills-the-1gb-data-cap-takes-a-more-friendly-approach/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/t-mobile-kills-the-1gb-data-cap-takes-a-more-friendly-approach/Sep 24th 2008 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/t-mobile-kills-the-1gb-data-cap-takes-a-more-friendly-approach/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/t-mobile-kills-the-1gb-data-cap-takes-a-more-friendly-approach/Sep 24th 2008 7:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/t-mobile-kills-the-1gb-data-cap-takes-a-more-friendly-approach/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/t-mobile-kills-the-1gb-data-cap-takes-a-more-friendly-approach/
