    Cool thanks for the info, i had a feeling they would extend it again and i also think they will extend it again when 1st October arrives, in fact they will keep extending it until they feel that they have enough customers on board, so im guessing another years free internet at the least.

    Can this internet connection be used with a PC, and does it have unlimited bandwidth?

    All you need to know is on their website,

    namely

    "Mobile Internet allowances exclude PC use and tethering"

    so NO

    Errrmm did you not bother to read my post from yesterday or indeed any of the posts above yours? or the site that the OP linked too?

    Even in the post directly above your own, this question is clearly answered by "Oldgreyfox", namely
    (i) in, any other device including a modem connected to a PC.;
    A dongle is a modem is it not?

    This deal is for HANDSET'S only

    HANDSET = A MOBILE PHONE (not a dongle)

    A dongle is not a handset

    This is not suitable for use with an O2 Dongle

    This is not suitable for use with a Voda Dongle

    This is not suitable for use in ANY dongle

    If you want to use a DONGLE look elsewhere, because this sim is not suitable for use in a DONGLE

    P.s - this will not work with a dongle

    I don't know why people bother taking the time to research or post information or advice, as its clear its not read, even when the information has been repeated several times.

    You are allowed 100 MB per day, which is quite a lot providing you don't download videos.
