    No. This regulation, like many other coming from Brussels, is ridiculous and the cap applies only to data roaming and with some reservations.
    Still better than nothing.

    The BIGGEST reservation is, the data cap ONLY applies to EU roaming. If you go outwith the EU (which includes Switzerland) you're on your own!
