I first heard April 17th from several sources. After asking if it was
really going to be introduced on a bank holiday this was corrected to
the 19th. It apparently started on the 18th but rather quietly
officially to corporate customers only or something like that.

Some people have reported ringing T-mobile CS and adding it to their
account, check Modaco forum for details.

It isn't available to add in "My T-mobile" on my SIM only tariff yet
AFAICS unless you have to remove web'n'walk consumer version first.

Pricing is £8.50 plus VAT a month.

The only restrictions I've seen mentioned are a 2GB fair use policy and
no VOIP. VOIP is said to be an outright ban with a wording suggesting
various effluent being unloaded from the stratosphere on anyone found
breaking that.

Upload and download speeds are both 384kbps on 3G. It will also support
HSDPA when it becomes available which will have 1.6mb/s download speed.

It will apparently be fully publicised on 1st May when anyone can add
it.

Without HSDPA you can't get 384 kbps in the upstream. Yesterday
T-Mobile NL started their HSDPA-network, in Germany and Austria it is
yet operational, too. So it seems T-Mobile UK will launch HSDPA very
soon. Upload is 384 kbps, Download up to 1,8 Mbps (about 1,4 Mbps is
realistic).

Well I haven't tried it myself (don't have pro or a 3G handset) but one
of the reported selling points of the pro package is that it is 6X
faster upload than the consumer package.

Someone who has managed to get T-mobile CS to add the pro package has
said it uploads faster than their broadband connection (presumably
256kpbs).
