T-Mobile UK backs set back a bit, limits 500MB fair use plan to new and upgrading customers

Alright, guys if you've already got a T-Mobile UK account in your pocket, you can breathe a sigh of relief, because that ugly new data cap doesn't apply to customers. It took the operator just a day to realize that putting a out-of-focus "fair use" restriction of just 500MB per month on existing accounts wasn't going over too well with its customer base, so they've conducted a "further review" and decided that they'll instead only be applying the rule to new and upgrading customers as of February 1 only. We wouldn't call this an outright win by any stretch the policy is still extremely restrictive, vague, and a pretty clear-cut disadvantage of the competition reducing Everything Everywhere hookup, and it looks like they'll still end up tagging you as soon as you try to upgrade your plan or your hardware anyway..  But we'll show whatever we get...
