HTC Wildfire - Affordable mobiles

First of all are they a reliable retailer for cashback/half price line rental?

Seen a deal for the HTC Wildfire on T-Mobile at £15/month with various deals. Now I've read in a few places that internet speeds and data usage is capped by buying from a 3rd party. I understand that the usage allowance drops from 3Gb to 1Gb. Now for the use I need this wouldn't be a major issue, but I would like a competitive speed to make things swifter when browsing.

Is this true of all 3rd party sellers for T-Mobile?

If so, is there a way that I can ensure that I receive a similar deal to those buying directly from T-Mobile?

    Just wanted to bump this up the topic list. Just want some reassurance or advice from those who have dealt with
    (i) Affordable mobiles
    (ii) T-Mobile through a 3rd party seller (for the above reasons)

    Thanks in advance

    Which tariff you are on and from who wont affect your speed, Signal strength will.

    Lowering the net usage from 3gb to 1gb is where they save on costs. Compared to deals the origiinal
    company may offer.

    Cashback deals can be a nightmare, The companies close down or not pay out and you may need to send the
    bill within a certain time frame.
