The T-Mobile data plan enables users to connect their iPad to the T-Mobile Broadband 3G network which covers around 98% of the UK population and offers download speeds of up to 4.5Mbps.
The data plan has a 1GB monthly usage allowance which can be used at anytime, plus a 1GB quiet time allowance to use between midnight and 10am.

Unlike other providers, T-Mobile does not charge customers any extra for going over their monthly allowance. Instead, they may restrict how a customer can use the internet, depending on how often they go over their allowance and by how much.
T-Mobile was recently awarded ‘Best Mobile Broadband 2010’ from What Mobile and offers free delivery on all orders made by new customers.
Readers wanting to buy an iPad from T-Mobile for Christmas have only today left to place their online order and thus ensure delivery before Christmas.
