Oh No I for one and are not putting up with that. I am going to submit a claim to regulatory board OFCOM & Trading Standards. I have already escalated this to T-Mobile as well.

May even look in to small claims court and exercise what you guys called the art of suing lol

I think we have a prime example how to cripple a smart phone here. People would be afraid of using the market to download apps. Use Youtube etc.

They are doing this across the board their current FPU states Android owners get a 3GB limit.

Wonders if the Iphone lot know yet as well because it affects them too.

In the USA you guys loads of wifi areas in the UK not so much..

No worries brotha' I still feel the same way too :p

Thank you for taking the time to post this article though it is something to DEF keep track of. Net-neutrality is a much bigger issue than people make it out to be and will be one of the hottest topic's of 2011 with the way more and more people getting smartphones and "straining" the networks.

I read the actual press release and could not believe the words that T-mobile used "If you want to download, stream and watch video clips, save that stuff for your home broadband." Seriously? Did they seriously just say that? Wow :eek:

Pretty aggressive language there T-mobile, I would never expect that from T-mobile U.S.A. whatsoever...

Don't you love their arrogance, because they are hooked up with Orange they think they are best network. UK do not have many wifi hotspots as other countries.

I am trying to leave them due to this breach of contract.

I got this back from them. It doesn't end here..

Good afternoon Mr M

Thank you for your email regarding the changes to our fair use policies for using the internet on your phone.

Whilst the fair use policy for accessing the internet on your phone is being reduced to 500MB a calendar month you will still get unlimited web browsing. This allows you to browse websites and check email as much as you want even if you exceed the fair use policy. The amount is then reset at the start of the next month.

The only time you would notice the change to the fair use policy is if you go over it; then you will not be able to download files or stream/watch video clips for the rest of the month. We do recommend that these activities are best done using your home broadband connection.

The change to our fair use policy does not mean you can get out of your contract. In line with your agreement we have to give you reasonable notice that your fair use policy is changing. The change is being made to enhance the overall service our customers get when accessing the internet as it allows all of our customers a fair opportunity to access the internet and a better online experience.

We remain the only operator who does not charge run on rates: if you go over your fair use amount you can still browse and email, plus we will not charge you any more. So you can continue to use the internet safe in the knowledge of how much you are paying each month. If you would like to use the internet for downloading a lot of data each month you can buy a booster to allow additional usage.

Thank you once again for taking the time to contact us Mr M. I trust you find this information useful.

Kind regards
A

Actually, AT&T here is trying to do similar things. Instead they simply removed "unlimited" and pushed out $15 for every 200MB or $25 for 2GB and $10 for extra GB.
F that!

I upgraded last week Monday. Called to see if I get 3GB worth of data and they said yes :D. Will be leaving them afterwards though as 500mb is pathetic
