In advance of the new Google phone, T-Mobile has lifted the cap on its monthly data plan.
The amendment was made a day after T-Mobile announced the G1, the first smartphone to use Google's Android mobile software platform. The T-Mobile G1 combines touch-screen functionality and a QWERTY keyboard with popular Google products such as Google Maps Street View, Gmail and YouTube.
T-Mobile stated it reserves the right to slow down traffic for a "a small fraction of our customers who have excessive or disproportionate usage that interferes with our network performance."
The details of the plan were not final, since the G1 doesn't go on sale until Oct. 22.

Specifically, for users of 10 gigs of data, their service will be throttled down to 50 kbps from upto 2 mbps and won't go back up until the start of their next billing cycle. Nothing will be done to reset the throttle during that billing cycle, even an esclation. Slower than dial up.
