Unlimited is unlimited in my book. I reject these so called fair use policies and even more the idea of dictating to me how i use my unlimited internet. I pay them money for a service and I will use that service in whatever way I choose

Believe me when I say. you wouldnt download an HD movie in a week with T-Mobile data speeds and reliability.

If it doesnt pop up the T-Zones page telling me I need to pay (I dont) or when it selects gprs connection instead of 3G, when it does finally get online I'm getting speeds like 1 - 2, whereas with Three my speeds are more around 5 - 6.

Its poor. Ever since T-Mobile joined this Everything Everywhere thing its become shite. Not only does tethering prompt this T-Zones page at times, but if I'm roaming on T-Mobile Orange then I cannot tether...ridiculous. I've been a T-Mobile customer for years and now because of charges and performance I'm leaving for Three who I have been trialling for 3 months and have performed far better in terms of coverage (for me) and data speeds.

If you mention Three to T-mobile they laugh and say things like "If youre lucky enough to get a signal", but the fact is it works for me and for the cost of a Three payg sim to see how it performs its worth considering...and the data speeds are far far higher than Everything Everywhere.

Orange also offers unlimited data, but without tethering.”

T-Mobile no longer allow tethering on the Full Monty plans it's not even possible to pay extra for the facility.

Yep. Major issue in my opinion. T-mobile seem to be on some kind of self destruct mission to lose customers
