Want to stay with Vodafone but need unlimited internet!

Georgyporgey

Been with Vodafone for 10+ years, would like to stay as their coverage is best where we live. Only problem is I'm after unlimited internet!
Been looking for a Samsung Galaxy S2 and the only contracts with unlimited internet seem to be on Three or Talkmobile. Anyone seen any others? I know Vodafone are launching the s2 on 17th but i doubt they will suddenly have unlimited internet without a fair usage policy!
Anyone know of any others to look at?

Talkmobile operates on Vodafone network.

Don't all the network have a FUP now? I think even 3's is set at 5 gig.

How much do you need ?

AFAIK, no FUP for The One Plan at Three.

What Grumbler said there is no FUP on 3's All You Can Eat data from what I could tell (I was looking into it a few weeks ago and I think I went through all the t&cs for all providers!).

It's worth noting that the One Plan sold with a new handset and the sim-only versions (both 1 month rolling and 12 months) also allows tethering. However the One Plan on PAYG despite having AYCE data does not allow tethering.

So is it just three and talkmobile that appear to have no limit on their fair usage policys?

Ive been to carphone warehouse asking about talkmobile's fair usage police and been told different things by different people!
heard you can and cant tether with their phones
heard there is no fair use policy and that it is capped at 5gb
heard that you can and cant watch youtube videos and make skype calls!

argh sooooo confused!

Unlimited Internet (included in tariff allowance)
Some Pay Monthly contracts include "Unlimited" data access as part of the tariff allowance. There is no limit on mobile internet usage on contracts which include "Unlimited" data access. However if we feel that your data usage is so excessive that other customers are detrimentally affected and/or we are concerned about fraud, we may introduce a fair use policy. If we publish a policy we will let you know. Any such policy may change from time to time, including where we introduce new Services which may require certain rules to ensure such new Services can be enjoyed by our customers. If, once we have implemented such a policy, your use of the Service is excessive, is causing problems for other users and you continue to use the Service excessively we may suspend all or some of the Services.

I read this as there is no any limit ATM, but they may introduce it at any time.

Talkmobile def DO NOT allow tethering

Three def DO allow tethering providing you are on either the one plan contract or sim only plan and providing you use the handset as the modem, ie you don't remove the sim and put it in a dongle
