Free Mobile Internet:
You lucky giffgaff pioneers can even enjoy free UK mobile Internet up to the end of June 2010.. After that date, mobile Internet will be charged at 50p a day (if you use less than 2.5MB/day you'll pay less than 50p and if you go over 30MB you'll be charged extra at 20p/MB). |

Free unlimited internet ends this month with Giffgaff.
giffgaff's unlimited internet (which is truly unlimited, tethering aside) is part of their goodybag monthly bundles, and those still are and still will be unlimited - see the link above which explains a bit more. Perhaps the most important bits are these: Quote:
So will we change the unlimited data allowance in our goodybags? The answer is we might, but not because O2 have just done so or because they are our ultimate owners. The announcement yesterday about ending unlimited iPhone data was a surprise to me and no one from O2 has called today to suggest that we should follow suit. And that’s exactly the way it should be because giffgaff was set up specifically to be able to act independently to O2...
...At the moment we don’t have any plans to change anything but at the same time we can never say never. All we can do is promise that if we do need to change anything then we’ll give our members plenty of notice, be fair and clear about the way we price our products and try to deliver the best value we can. |

i,m currently on the virgin mobile paya s you go addict tarrif.
i pay £20 a month and get free unlimited texts capped at 3000 and unlimited internet capped at 1gb a month and then the £20 for making calls as i am not a big user of the mobile for calls. i think this is a excellent deal.. but no doubt nowhere near as the equivilent on a contract.. |

On giffgaff you could be spending £10 a month on a goodybag and for that you would get 100 minutes, unlimited texts and unlimited data - and with giffgaff unlimited really does mean unlimited. Check them out! |

Sky Broadband for example is truly unlimited. It really annoys me when a service claims unlimited and clearly isn't.

Unlimited: not restricted, limited, or qualified
a cap: An upper limit; a ceiling which ever way you look at it an unlimited service cannot have a fixed cap. OFCOM should take to task any telcom that claims to have an unlimited limited service. |

This is only for new and upgrading customers (who will still get unlimited data until 1st October as a promotion). Existing customers will have no change until the end of their contracts. That's the way I understand it anyway.

dont be so pedantic 1GB is a limit. It's like saying you can buy unlimited shopping at the supermarket, capped at 2 baskets. OR All you can eat breakfast, capped at 3 rashes of bacon, 4 eggs, 2 sausages and 2 cups of tea. |

I can't believe that anyone is defending the Telco redefinition of the word unlimited!

dont be so pedantic Unlimited, albeit with a fair usage policy, would mean that you could send tens of thousands of texts, or download gigs of data. Its reasonable to say that 3000 texts is relatively unlimited, but 500 meg of data is very definitely *not* unlimited. A few larger podcasts, a couple of video podcasts and your limit will be totally gone. |
