200MB plan offers halved overage charges
T-Mobile has revamped its webConnect data plans with new guidelines for overages. The new 5GB plan eliminates overage fees, however the connection is throttled if the user exceeds the monthly allowance. The company has yet to disclose specific details regarding the level of speed reduction when an account passes 5GB.
Customers enrolled in the 200MB plan will still have to pay fees after the limit has been passed. The company has reduced the penalty, however, dropping the fees from $0.20/MB to $0.10/MB.
The new webConnect policies are now available for compatible devices, with the 5GB plan priced at $40 per month and the 200MB contract listed for $25 per month.
