Ive seen text compress very well, from 40MB down to 1.5MB

I know and I said that, but most web pages are image heavy, and that does not compress well at all.

Firstly, o2 internet is unlimited.

It's subject to fair use terms and o2 don't say what. probably at least 500MB, maybe a GB, but it's not unlimited.

Actually, it is unlimited. It isn't subject to fair use, its subject to excessive use. Basically, o2 will only ever contact you if your usage is having an impact on the local cell sites.

So it's not unlimited then.

Unlimited means that as much as you want without consequences and without restrictions. This is not unlimited if o2 have an excessive use limit.

Given the known issues with o2 capacity in cities (especially London) that may not even be a high amount at sometimes...

I think you're wrong. Its as unlimited as it can possibly be. If it's not unlimited, then what is?? Noone else offers a better truely 'unlimited' package. Even looking at home broadband, Virgin Media offer unlimited, but thats subject to excessive use. If there was no excessive use policy the network would just cripple on itself. It's like shooting yourself in the foot.

Please feel free to give me an example of a 'real' unlimited service btw, one with no limits or bounds who doesn't care how much you use, even excessively, even when its classed as abuse. I think you'll be hard pressed to find one, in fact I don't think you'll be able to.

Possibly, I agree there is no such thing as truely unlimited, but unlimited and "subject to excessive / fair use" are two different things, and I wish all telecoms companies would say so.
