Further data:
I have just measured T-Mobile's international data speed here in Hong Kong, in a few places (airport, Kowloon, Central). Speed varied between 110kbps and 170kbps download, and about half that for upload. This is fast enough for a Skype phone call, or a jumpy low-resolution video call. It's great for sending and receiving IM's, we chats, email, and so on. Not so good for viewing photo-rich sites, and very poor for any kind of video.
FWIW, in Taipei, I measured it at about 110kbps down, 60kbps up.
Bottom line: It *is* "free international data", but quite slow. T-Mobile claims there are plans to bring the speed up to 4G levels, but I have not explored that yet.
