Cellphone provider T-Mobile UK will soon reduce its fair-use policy on data down to 500MB per month. This is a huge reduction, as before this, those with Android smartphones enjoyed a 3GB mobile data limit.
Once 500MB is reached, subscribers will no longer be able to download or stream video and other media files but will continue to have access to web browsing and e-mail access.
The new policy will come into effect on February 1, T-Mobile UK announced. The carrier believes users are free to access Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, BBC News and other popular sites, as well as access e-mail and browse the web, but save watching videos for their home broadband service.
The limit will not impose overage charges, but instead restrict bandwidth, making watching video painstakingly slow. Whether browsing and e-mail attachment downloading speeds will be affected by this isn't clear but likely.
