People had been freaking out, as they do, the past two days when they read the fine print of T-Mobile’s terms and conditions, realizing that the wireless carrier imposed a “soft” 1GB cap on 3G data. Meaning, that if you downloaded more then 1GB of data—isn’t that a big selling point of the G1, fast Internet everywhere?—T-Mo would cut your connection speed to levels below that of EDGE.

T-Mobile Removes G1 Data Cap, Sort Of
Alice Hill's Real Tech News - Independent Tech —

It was in bold, as shown above, but it was in the fine print at the bottom of the page.

T-Mobile G1 Manual and T-Mobile Backs Down on Data
Mobility Site —
A couple items about the G1 hit this weekend. One of them is the answer to a problem that I am not even sure if everyone knew about, but T-Mobile was planning on capping 3G data with the G1’s dataplans. Well, if you didn’t know, no biggie.
