What happened here?

So I normally have a 1GB cap on my phone on it's contract.

If I deplete it I am still allowed to use 3G at no extra charges but the speed gets lowered to 64 kbps.

I am allowed to reset the cap to 1 GB again by SMSing 'reset speed' to a certain number for a 5 euro fee.

I recently switched ISP's and boy did they make a mess, haven't had internet since saturday.

They say it could take up until 10 workdays to work this out....

Soooo to keep gaming online (WoW, Minecraft) I tether my phone to my pc and game via 3G.

Thing is, the first couple of days it went fine, I reset the speed twice so I could game on.

Since yesterday I was stuck at 50MB left, you can see it on the website (T mobile).

'Almost time to reset speed ' I thought.

But no, the 50MB won't deplete or change, I have been gaming all day, checked every couple of hours, but it still says I am at 50MB, I even used it in the train while commuting to watch some videos on youtube.

Did something go wrong at T Mobile and am I so lucky as to be able to profit from it at a time like this? :D

Wait. T-Mobile is also in the Netherlands? 

 

 

I learn something new everyday.

 The jump from Germany (where T-Mobile - as a part of Deutsche Telekom - actually comes from) to the Netherlands is much smaller than to the US, isn't it? ;)

This kinda thing happened to me with itunes a few years back. Had 5 bucks left on the gift card but spent over $200 worth of songs and apps. Pretty awesome if you ask me.
