This will probably happen when Three update their pay as you go tariffs.
Will there be an end to unlimited data?

It will be funny if O2 customers get unlimited data.

On pay as you go? Not as far as I'm aware. But don't quote me on that.

There are certainly plans to change the tariffs and if I had to take an educated guess I'd say the price won't be £15 for unlimited data any more.

As i've said before...

I believe Three UK will make a new PAYG tariff.....

My educated guess based on whats happened before... is that like I said they will create a new PAYG tariff like 'Pay as you go on Three' 'WePay' and '3Pay'... My guess is they will use incentives to move people over to a new tariff. (Like they have always done).

As you probably already know

The main incentive to move customers from Wepay to 3pay was allowances for 90 days...

The main incentives to move 3pay customers to Pay as you go on Three was for Feel at home and unlimited data which 3pay didn't offer.

My educated guess is they will discontinue 'Pay as you go on Three' for NEW customers but allow the existing users to continue on it. (after all there's still people on 3pay as we speak).

Think it'll be more funny EE offering unlimited data I can see them charging like.... £900 a month for unlimited '4GEE' data.

UK mobile operator EE has announced the world's first petabyte data bundle for businesses – offering the equivalent of 13 years of HD video streaming for around £8 million.

Do they put a 30 day expiry on that like they do their other data bundles?

More seriously I can see a company going for it (or more likely one of the lesser bundles) if they have a need to use tons of data without bill shock. Like a news broadcaster who wants to do a lot of OBs. You only have to use satellite a few times to make it worthwhile instead

Nothing for the consumer market though.

It's a joke.... They know they have potential with the spectrum they have but they don't take advantage of it... I'm not been funny who wants 100meg+ on a mobile especially with the data caps? ... It's pointless what are you going to do download a app within '10 seconds' which temps you to download more and more apps and eventually you've reached your capped limit. Why not throttle it to a realistic speed like 20-30 meg which is more than enough for mobile use you can even stream a 4k movie with that.

EE have the advantage at the moment as been the first major network to launch 4G services to the public before anyone else and owning a lot of spectrum at least Vodafone uses the spectrum and started the 'unlimited data' offer but just wait until Three UK have finished the 4G roll-out with unlimited data and we'll see some competition between the networks. We can already see Vodafone trying to gain customers using the 'Unlimited data for 3 months' technique.
