New Fair Usage Policy enforced by T-Mobile on Mobile Broadband Users.

Note* I am constantly editing and adding info to this post as I get the information.

**This information applies to anyone purchasing a T-Mobile Mobile Broadband USB Dongle between 2009 and 2011.**

Current speed is capped at around 0.402mb/s

On or around 30th Aug 2013, mobile broadband users logged on to their accounts and found a new restriction in place.
Without any notification T-Mobile decided to restrict an already throttled service to something that is now practically unusable for everyday use by thousands of laptop owners.


The previous FUP clearly states:

For the time being, however, between 4pm and midnight you won't be able to do other heavy usage activities such as watching videos or downloading files. Before 4pm and after midnight your Mobile Broadband service will continue to run as normal.


This FUP is still active on T-Mobiles website (07/08/2013) and you are redirected to it each time when connecting.

The actual redirection url is ...

http://tmuk.content-lock.t-mobile.net/fup/fup_broadband.html&ts=1375870754

..which results in a 404, remove the 
&ts=1375870754 and the page loads.
