kinda defeats the point of having an i-phone if you look to restrict data usage imo

All Telecomms providers are looking in to doing this. The rise of the smart phone took the service providers by surprise a bit TBH and they are all now trying to catch up with their system upgrades. Some network integrations have delayed site upgrades by a fair bit as well but they are all currently playing catch up. In the mean time I would expect most networks to come out with some sort of "fair useage" policy.

yes but usually they are fair

250mb is gonna get you nowhere with an i phone as it is always updating stuff in the background

Depends on what you do with it, I guess. I don't have one myself so have no idea how much fair useage should actually be.

T-mobile don't like their customers.  They've reduced customer's data use to 500MB a month from 1GB, or to 500MB from 3GB if you've got an Android phone.

They say that the data is for email and web browsing not watching videos or downloading large files.  Idiots.

T-mob/3 (Same network these days) are one of the providers that have underestimated the rise of the 3G smart phones. I am sure they love their customers, they just can't supply them all if everyone would use upto 3GB a month. They have done a big 3G roll out the past few years and have another one planned starting later this year.

500mb limit for new customers or upgrades only. Limit same for exsisting.

I read a news article about it - so if I upgraded a few months ago I still have the 3GB allocation?  Of course, I've heard nothing from T-mobile directly.

Yes thats what I heard when it was on BBC talking about it.

I rarely get anywhere near the allocation, but if I need to use tethering on the phone (on the train) or if my broadband goes down then it can eat up a lot of it very quickly.

Download apps etc on wifi. Also if your limited don`t stream tv or youtube they whack the data.
