T-Mobile Will Skip Overage Charges, Throttle Data

T-Mobile today announced changes to its pricing structure for users on its webConnect data plans. Previously, T-Mobile offered a 5GB monthly plan, and users paid a per/megabyte fee for going over that cap. Now, T-Mobile will stop charging the extra fee and will instead slow down users' data connections after they hit the 5GB limit. Subscribers using T-Mobile's 200MB monthly plan will still pay the data overage fee, but this fee has been reduced by half, so now users will pay $0.10/MB instead of $0.20/MB. For a limited time, T-Mobile is also offering discounts for new contracts or additional data lines on an existing contract.

-AK
It's semi-unlimited now
However, my suggestion is 10GB, but $40 with qualified calling plan, this not bad at all; moreover, if you bring in your device (Option iCON 452) or buy USB stick in full price, you won't be bound by contract.
Too bad there's no mifi unit with AWS support this time, or it'll be great news for iPad users.
Good job, T-Mo
