Comment From a t-mobile customer in the USA (Score 1) 364
I happen to be a blind t-mobile customer here in the US. I can see a very good reason that t-mobile would do this.
Their infrastructure was not designed for such high loads being placed on it. these loads may cause service problems
for anyone else on that cell node. also, bandwidth is not exactly cheap anywhere you go.
As a blind customer with a smartphone, I have no need to download videos. podcasts (audio only) are far smaller and can be transferred
from my mac at home to my phone easily. with 32 GB available on my micro SD card, I can store as much media as I will
need. Thus I am not using Bandwidth to transfer these on t-mobile's network and thus am not limiting another user's ability to use the service.
Frankly, its common sense. if you want to view a video on your phone, get it via broadband and watch it offline. it will cost you
a lot less and save the rest of us from having to pay higher fees for your hoggishness.
