I'm on T-Mobile in Washington DC area with N9 and use at least 2GB a month on 3G.

I don't think T-mobile US ever sold the N900. My phone shows up as "unknown" when I log into my T-mobile account on-line. (Though in reality, customer service reps can identify it in the system as a N900. From a billing point of view, T-mobile never cared enough to flag the N900 or N9 as "smartphones running an OS they care about".)

T-Mobile never sold the N900, that's how many people are still getting away by using the $5 tmobile web internet with no bandwidth caps. T-Mobile can't recognize the type of phone the N900 is on their network for billing. All branded phones force you to upgrade your plan to the more expensive one. As above, when I sign into my billing account, it's said unknown for the past 3-4 years.
When I was without home internet a few months back, I averaged around 15GB each month for two months and never received a notice.

I can guarantee you the N900 was sold in the US by T-Mobile, at least in the local T-Mobile store in Montclair, CA. My roommate at the time bought his @ the T-Mobile store. He did purchase it outright on April 2010 so I do not know if T-Mobile was subsidizing it at the time or not.
But don't just take my word for it.

I just reinserted my AT&T sim in the N9 and I got an SMS as well. Definitely not a "heavy: user. My average use is about 500-800MB/month, I'd be lucky if I used more than 1GB/month so I don't think they flag accounts based on usage.
The conspiracy theorist in me however says that Nokia (MS) handed over the IMEI's of the N9's to AT&T but for what gain? They must begetting something in return. I will have to try this on the N8 as well since AT&T wasn't identifying it either.

Its only 1Mb connection but why would I need more when Youtube plays well with 3sec wait.
Most of my data goes to streaming playlists from Youtube.

I have figured out the reason 'smartphones' were invented. They are for reading the internet while pooping. This means the best smartphone ever created is the N9. It is the only one that works so well single-handed.
