I'm a telesales agent for t-mo.. We read the t&c and then even email it to the customer. In my opinion, if they're violating the terms then they should be punished for it.
A deliberate? bit of false advertising by T-Mobile?
It would be foolish to believe that, for the everyday consumer, a genuinely 24/7 unlimited download plan - with full speed (the critical bit) - could possibly be maintained for any length of time. This simply doesn't exist outside expensive commercial set-up's.
The actual policy will always be no different to all those current ISP's offering 'unlimited' downloads while enforcing 'fair policy usage', normally via time expired throttling.
You seem a bit confused. T-Mobile advertises, and offers, a data plan that has no set limit to the amount of data you can consume. Which is entirely accurate. Nowhere does T-Mobile make the claim that their data plans are free to use for whatever purpose the customer sees fit. There are very clearly defined restrictions on the use of T-Mobile's data plans and every user receives a copy of T-Mobile's terms and conditions when they sign up.I don't pirate or illegally download things, but thanks for the assumption, Emanuel Elmo. I'm simply stating, if you are going to advertise something as being without limits, it should not have limits, whether those limits are arbitrary or based on good sound reasoning. It makes the advertisement blatantly false, or in other words, dishonest, or maybe even a lie. If you have ever dealt with the public much, you will soon realize that the honor system doesn't work well. So, maybe I should clarify with you a bit. I'm not against T-Mobile throttling the speeds of those it considers to be abusive - I'm against them advertising their service as unlimited, when clearly it's not.

"They, like every other mobile service, place restrictions on WHAT you can use the data connection for"
This is the part I have a problem with.
Should the water company tell me what I can use the water for?
Filling my pool, watering my lawn, bathing vs showering
Should the electricity company tell me what I can use the electricity for?
Should I pay an upcharge if I use a bigger TV?
Well, either the service is "unlimited" or it's not. If the purchaser of the service can not send and/ or receive data at full speed, 100% of the time, regardless of what that data is, it's hardly unlimited, and I hardly think T-Mobile should be able to advertise the service as such.
