T-Mobile says "download at home" after slashing data cap

(1/2) > >>

Simon:
Mobile operator T-Mobile has unveiled a new fair use policy, raising a few eyebrows by telling customers to leave high-bandwidth downloads for home.

From the beginning of next month, the policy will limit customers to 500MB a month, down from 1GB or 3GB, depending on the contract. "If you want to download, stream and watch video clips, save that stuff for your home broadband," a document on the T-Mobile site said.

It's unclear whether that will apply to existing customers or only on new contracts, but a message on the company's official Twitter account said: "We have to give you reasonable notice that our fair use policy is changing."

Rik:
That's a significant variation of contract. I wonder if it gives customers the right to cancel without penalty.

Simon:
Guess it depends if it applies to old or just new contracts. 

Rik:
Indeed. Plus small print, of course.

Simon:
As ever.
