    I suppose its to stop network abuse
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    The trouble is they gave you Unlimited because at the time you didn't have so much tv and video on demand services running on mobile broadband.
    More people are doing away with their fixed broadband and going mobile because its cheaper
    So now the mobile networks are losing money they come out with the old crap that its not fair for other users
    Sorry they should have thought of that before giving unlimited data in the first place they know the market is changing all the time and that nearly everything is all done on the internet.

    I have unlimited not because i use it all but just in-case i download a large film or something which i haven't yet my megs is about 1-2gb a month most times less
    So i have to be penalized because someone is downloading 50-100gb or more a month.

    Is that fair i don't think so.

    50-100 GB on a laptop I can understand. But on a mobile? I wouldn't want to watch a film on such a small screen. If on a long car journey and unavoidable, just download over wifi at home beforehand. And they should foresee future trends? I'll just let them borrow my time machine.

    So aren't they responding to changing market conditions?

    Three are still offering Unlimited Data. I got an o2 contract sim for sits and giggles, the network performance is so different.

    In the centre of Sheffield I get
    O2 = GPRS (200kbps)
    3 = H+ (HSDPA2) or 4G (25MBPS)
