    1 or 3 GB download limit? Per month? Pah!
    I sometimes use up to 1GB per month on my phone, and that's without even trying.

    I'll stick with Vodafone TopUp and Go, ok its only upto 3.6Mbps (who'd get upto 7.2 in the real world anyways), and none of this 30 day expiry or contract nonsense.

    Yeah, they mentioned iplayer, but a normal show would be a few hundred mb, so a few shows and you're over your limit. then youtube, music streaming etc...
    I think 20gb is really the minimum limit now that video is so prevalent.

    3GB does seem a little on low side. There are plenty of packages offering 5GB.

    Virgin Media rolls out 7.2Mbps mobile broadband
    No they are not, they are just buying space off another provider, VM have no wireless network of their own. So the question is, who's network are they using? and what kind of deal does that operator offer?
