    Short answer is None. Mobile BB is never unlimited, the best package seem to be with 3 roll on contract, £15 / month for 5 GB. But their speed is rubbish, I just came off that.

    How about t mobile, if you go over your limit they stop you from downloading between 4pm and midnight but dont charge you any extra for exceeding your limit.

    I agree with matty538 - T-Mobile won't charge you if you exceed your limit, but they may start throttling your speed if you go over a lot.

    Also - how about O2? You get free access to The Cloud wi-fi, which is effectively unlimited mobile broadband albeit limited to Cafe Nero and McDonald's... Saying that though you also get access to BT Openzone networks.

    The 3GB and unlimited wifi package is on offer for £10 for 4 months at the moment too, £15/mth thereafter.

    T-Mobile's cheapest pay monthly package is £10/mth for the first 3 months, and then £15/mth - that's with 3GB usage.

    The next one up is 5GB which costs £30 - bit of a rip-off!

    The speed varies depending on where you live. You need to look at which provider offers the best coverage in the area.

    Mobile broadband isn't as quick as home broadband - but if you've got 3G coverage it's absolutely fine for browsing and light web use.

    Problem is the speed depends on the signal strength in the specific place that you use it. You could get home and find that you have no 3 signal. Decent test for this is to have people with phones on different networks round to your house and see what strength they get and whether they get 3g....

    'Unlimited and fast' are not going to happen on wireless broadband. You need ADSL broadband.
