T-Mobile Slashes Fair Use Policy, Says Download At Home

nk497 writes "T-Mobile in the UK has revealed a new fair use policy, cutting caps from 1GB and 3GB to 500MB, saying mobile browsing doesn't include videos or large downloads. 'If you want to download, stream and watch video clips, save that stuff for your home broadband,' the company said. All those people who have bought smartphones with the aim of doing such things on the go may not agree with the mobile operator, however. Any user that goes over the new limit won't be charged, but will be blocked from downloading or streaming for the rest of the month."

slow network?

I hope the public sees that as admission of having a bad network and move elsewhere :-)

What is the point? The legislation is a sop. Its only value is so the government can say "we did something about it" without actually doing anything about it.

We have a telecomms regulator with the regulatory ability of a bribed, wet cabbage in a soggy brown paper bag.

Yes I am a bloody angry t-mobile customer with an Android phone, and I will go elsewhere as soon as I can afford it. This is not the only example ot t-mo UK being scum.
