Pandora over EDGE works perfect ($5.99) would T-mob kick our @ss?

Hi guys

I just tried Pandora over over EDGE (oh well over to modified $5.99 T-zone package) and work like a dream. At this point I'm an area with good coverage so results maybe different in other locations.

Anyway has anyone tested the "tolerance limits" from T-mobile regarding the data downloading? I was just thinking of using it as a radio while bike riding or driving... but I'm just thinking that I might end up with large amount of downloaded data at the end of the month

How did you modify your Tzones settings for it to work?

Well, new G1's data limit is 1G but that's $25 3G plan.. I don't know about t-zone plan. I'm guess it's much lower than that.

Update: I just used it Pandora while driving in Malibu canyon - In this road there are 1-2 places where I'm usually getting disconnected - the FM radio is also bad there... anyway Pandora was working perfectly and didn't skip/stop even for a second!!! Just amazing!

Btw I didn't do anything to get the EDGE working, I just used the new setting for APN (epc.tmobile.com).

Have you done any network speed tests? I would be interested to know what the numbers are with the new setting. I can't do it myself as I am on the $19.99 plan and I know it will not work with it.

there faster, lik 3x faster then regular tzones. i use it regularly.

with wap. i was getting like 60-110kbps
with the new epc. i am getting between 160-250kpbs on 5.99 tzones. but it varies.

With the new or the old T-Zones trick, I'm always getting around 140-160kpbs.

Btw I just checked on T-Mobile's website and it seems that there is no download limit on T-Zones (probably thought that they don't need it due to the slow speed)...
