So as long as you use it reasonably it should be fine. As a primary Internet connection would be unreasonable

Why shouldn't unlimited mean unlimited? For six months my only Internet connection was through my Blackberry. T-Mobile is very good about not restricting what you can do with your phone, and not complaining when you do things like this.

You're being pedantic. It's quite obvious that they mean unlimited on a 3G cellphone modem, which has a fundamentally limited throughput.

Seriously...this is like debating with the people who think it's okay to bring Tupperware to an all-you-can-eat buffet.

It's more like management kicking you out after they've felt you've had "all-you-can-eat".

Hmm. Well you are not allowed to tether the phone. So if they are not expecting users to do that it is reasonable to have a 5Gb limit since no one would break that.

Whether it is ethical to enforce a no-tether policy is a separate debate.
