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."

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

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

Indeed. Plus small print, of course.

so does that mean if you have a contract that includes ' unlimited internet ' its been changed.

unlimited internet has never really meant unlimited, well it did at first but not with all the fair use crap. They shouldn't be allowed to get away with unlimited when they mean unlimited up to 2GB.
