T-Mobile's unlimited browsing SIM gives you 6 months unlimited browsing plus 1GB data per month, for about £21 which works out only about £3.50 per month.

What is your experience of this SIM? Is it reliable to connect to?

I've read some feedback on another forum where people said they experienced problems being asked to buy addons even though they were only browsing the net and not streaming media or downloading files.

I've had this sim since January 2014, and have had no issues at all. To be fair, it really is unlimited. I have downloaded games off steam, watched Youtube and downloaded updates for anti-virus and browsers, yet not had an issue, They do slow you when you go over the 1GB, but between midnight and 4.00pm it's normal speed.

Are you saying you can still watch videos on YouTube even when you go over the 1GB in a month? I thought only 1GB data was included for watching media.

Yes, I am sure of that especially before peak time. The secret sometimes after 4pm is set the videos to a low quality and watch as normal.

Is the connection reliability good? i.e. do you ever get disconnected after a certain amount of time being connected.

You do get a message with "Fair Use Policy" pop up, and the connection speed drops - but that's it.

I read this thread, which is from May 2013. Someone said that logos or images on a webpage will be downloaded as a cache item. Does this mean that even images on a web page count towards the 1GB data allowance?

I think someone could be pulling your leg there reading this. I've played Facebook games, and never had the message saying I am about to go over my Fair Usage. Heck I even downloaded attachments from e-mails, and nothing at all.
