ugh. so now they don't give us defined limits, and can screw with us whenever they don't like how we use their network. The 1GB cap was too restrictive on todays broadband intensive Internet, but no defined service usage is likely to be just as bad for the consumer.
Danny, so that 2% of what you call "complete network hogs" would include anyone that uses remote desktop applications from their mobile device (very easy to surpass the 1GB no-longer-existent-yet-likely-to-be-enforced-anyway-cap) or streams video, or is a photographer (pro or amateur) transferring their images... you know.. every day users.. .not anyone trying to run bittorrent on cellular data.
All these activities done on a daily basis, even casually, in addition to web browsing, oh and maybe some reference e-books, pdf's.. you name it.. can consumer 1GB of data very quickly.
So, thanks for your inappropriately obnoxious, and inaccurate response. I'm sorry if my opinions affect your revenue stream.
Think of it like this: 1GB in New York is different than 1GB in Kansas City. Someone could probably download 1GB a week in KC and it wouldn't strain T-mobile's servers at all - whereas if one person consumes 1GB a week in NY it'll slow down millions of people making the bandwidth unacceptable.
It's probably going to amount to a per area basis.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.

Gee. Some people are never satisfied.
Unless you are complete network hog, I doubt any adverse action would be taken against your data usage.
98% of the users will have nothing to worry about.
What a moronic response.
Damned if they do, damned if they don't.
Please, go elsewhere.
