Smart people know EE is a rip-off :rotfl:

My £5 data runs out 5th, I'm planning on buying 6 months for £20. That gives me 6 months to look for a decent deal elsewhere.

Clearly trying to get people to move over to EE.
Not going to happen. Would prefer to move to Three.

it appears to depend on the price plan you're on. some appear to remain at £20 per six months.

http://ee.co.uk/content/dam/ee-help/Help-PDFs/Business-PDFs/TM-PAYG-NONSTDMIX-280416%20v3.3.pdf

look at page 16.

Boosters available to customers on price plans: Everyday plan, Talk plan,
Text plan, International plan or BlackBerry® plan

and then page 18

Talk Tariff, Mates Rates,
Mates Rates International, Text Appeal, Everyone, Standard, Relax,
Relax with Allowances Talk & Text

Unless I'm mistaken, there's only the 2nd set of plans which get the increases.

Alas, the price guide that's linked to the official T-Mobile press release on this (at http://ee.co.uk/help/add-ons-benefits-and-plans/price-plans-and-costs/t-mobile-price-plans/t-mobile-pay-as-you-go-price-increase) would indicate that is not the case.

Also, it appears that the "fair use" policy is limited to 500 Mb per month...

there is a way round the increase. you can topup on some plans by £15 a month and get "free" internet the following month.
