With data usage on mobile devices skyrocketing, the onus is now on the carriers to bring their mobile data strategies up to speed with the times. Take for instance the all too familiar 5GB/month data cap, which appears totally out of place in a world where smartphones are increasingly delivering a PC-like browsing experience and, consequently, pushing bandwidth consumption upwards.
In a welcome move, T-Mobile has decided to move beyond this practice. It has done away with overage charges beyond the 5GB limit. However, the number still retains a bit of its past significance as users will now have to put up with slower speeds beyond the 5GB threshold. As for those on T-Mobile’s 200MB data plan, there is only limited respite, with the company lowering overage charges to $0.10 from $0.20 per MB.

I'm glad that T-mobile had the courage to do something good towards the consumers. I wish other companies would follow their example.

Title says 5G (At first I thought Cellphone) when the article says 5GB.
