I didn't find any reference to a specific data limit in the new TOS.
What is new is that it says you "may" be charged for data on a per KB rather than time basis.
Both the old and new TOS state that there may be a limit on data usage.
It's hard to say what these changes mean. TOS typically give the operator the right to do all sorts of things that they don't actually but the lawyers think they might want to do someday.
The changes give Boost the right to start charging for data based on the number KBs used. Will they do that? I don't know although I hope not.
We will just have to wait and see what if anything Boost is going change with data pricing. |

According to @BoostCare, an official Boost account on Twitter, the new rates are 20 cents/minute for voice, 20 cents/text sent or received and 50 cents/day for the unlimited web add-on.
Also, switching the Web option on or off or switching temporarily from Pay As You Go to Boost's $2/day Unlimited plan both constitute plan changes and would trigger the increase. |

The rate increase applies to both iDEN and CDMA. Looks more like a 1st step to phasing out PayGo. |
