Contract with T-Mobile is about to end. Went with them originally as they had the best data package. I pay £12.50pm on top of my £20 package for 3gb internet usage on my phone(as I stream music and vids to my phone).
Is this still the best deal or are the other networks now better as I know other mobile companies have started to introduce their own realistic internet usage.
Currently use internet on my k800i but now looking at either kaiser or N95
I do know everything, just not all at once. It's a virtual memory problem.
I think T-Mobile do a £7.50 unlimited package (might be called "web and walk"?) - maybe worth checking out.
they do, but don't(or didn't) allow video downloads which is why I went for £12.50 versionOriginally Posted by Templar87

Didn't realise they imposed that limitation, sorry. Is that downloads of videos onto your phone or streaming video like youtube?
think it's streaming. I'd need it as I use sky mobile TV for sports and other sports viewing

As far I knew, the limitations on the basic W'n'W was no Skype, Laptop connection or instant messaging. Plus gives you more data allowance and messaging plus connection sharing with a laptop. The Max package lets you use Skype and anything else you care to throw at it.
Yeah, they have fair use policies.
I don't know what the limits for 3's moble broadband is, but O2 is about 200MB, Vodafone is about 250MB or certainally used to be.

The £5 monthly add-on from three has a 1GB fair usage limit. They have a £10 option for certain phones called x-series gold which has special apps.
Doesn't sound very fair to call it unlimited but then give customers a fixed data allowance - or am I missing something?
Not any different to pretty much any ADSL provider in the UK.
Not sure about that... unlimited ADSL connections don't have any restriction on usage, if they do then it is usually stated up front. Even if this was the case it seems like mis-selling from my point of view.
Yes they do. There are only a handful of providers offering a true unmetered broadband service, and you usually pay very heavily for that (they are often marketed at businesses too).
In the context of mobile broadband, you could argue that the "unlimited" refers to not limiting you to a small sub section of the internet. Previously many operators created a walled garden of web sites you were unable to get out of. Now you can get anything and use pretty much any internet app, not just a browser. Although further terms and conditions apply to the various packages, usually limiting the use of Instant messaging and VoIP. and that is understandable as they would vastly reduce the revenues from voice calls and text messaging.
What about BT's £19 a month unlimited service - not really paying heavily and definitely not business aimed. It'd be useful to clear this up if you could find a larger provider than BT with an advertised-as-unlimited package which had limits in the small print.
As for redefining "unlimited", that certainly wouldn't hold up given its widespread use in reference to download limits.
This has changed recently then, and I stand corrected.
Certainally, for the past few years, "unlimited" connections have been banded about, even though they are tied to a fairly restrictive Fair Usage policy.
Perhaps OffCom has cracked down on this at last.
That could have been the case - I wouldn't have put it past them. You can only hope the same thing will happen with the mobile internet providers eventually :-)
