Following on from the announcement of the 'Full Monty' plan, T-Mobile have made some major changes to it's data plans for mobile users. According to source ITProPortal, plans will now be split into four different packages with the following allowances:

• Basic Internet, giving 100MB mobile data allowance for £4 a month
  
• Standard Internet, giving 750MB mobile data allowance plus 3GB WiFi allowance for £9 a month
  
• Extra Internet, giving 1.5GB mobile data allowance with 3GB WiFi for £14 a month

The WiFi is provided by BT Openzone via it's UK wide hotspots.

I can't help think that T-Mobile are trying to get customers to move to the more expensive 'Full Monty' plan which provides an Unlimited mobile data allowance. I personally feel that T-Mobile's offering is not as competative as other operators such as 3 who provide a unlimited data on the One Plan for £25 per month which also includes tethering.

Where do you get the 8GB AUP for the Full Monty Plan?

Their network is great, but they don't help themselves with these idiotic (imho) options.

Your man in the street won't understand the different what you get for free to browse and whats not........  At least with a "500mb total" plan from other vendors you know where you stand.

I'm glad I got hooked up with them before these changes.  At the moment, it appears there has been no change to my contract plan.  And they'd better not try it either!

I assume this change will only affect new connections rather than those on existing plans?

@Zarch1972

"500mb total" means absolutely nothing to the average person. At least with T-Mobile they won't charge you if you go over your allowance even on these new plans which helps avoid bill shock for those that don't understand.

I'm sure this doesn't affect current plans. They already got burned for that when they tried to reduce current users' fair use from 3GB to 500MB.

Preview and edit would be wonderful for these comments.

The 8GB AUP was a mistake.. I misread an article comparing it with the One Plan from 3 and it actually mentions that the one plan has the 8GB AUP and not T-Mobile.
