[quote][i]Originally posted by Dom[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by bubble[/i] not at all. since the 14th jan on my iphone, i have used 600mb. [/quote] Lucky for you, but i can clear 20/30mb a day just from a bit of browsing, emails and a few podcasts. [quote][i]Originally posted by bubble[/i] iphone and nexus have different APN's onto the network, hence why they have a 1gb allowance. [/quote] Still doesn't explain the 1GB limit, why not blanket it all at 500mb/1GB? What makes the iPhone and Nexus so special to warrant a higher limit especially when you sell phones like the Desire which are pretty much identical? [quote][i]Originally posted by bubble[/i] we wont loose loads of customers, its always been 500MB for phones, and when people have abused it by tethering we have charged. [/quote] I think you should read the forums, plenty of people (and it's only a tiny number of the customers that know about this yet) are willing to leave over the this although no doubt Voda will try and pull a fast one with the 7.2(?) clause. It's always been a 500mb Fair Usuage Policy, which is guidance NOT a hard limit. What Vodafone are now putting in place is a hard-limit and will see a lot of people being charged extra. [quote][i]Originally posted by bubble[/i] the average user, does not use over 500mb a month. i worked in billing for a brief period, and never got complaints about it. [/quote] Clearly the uproar suggests otherwise. [quote][i]Originally posted by bubble[/i] the word unlimited is used for advertsing, ofcom believe that the word unlimited can be used in contexts where the avergae user wont go over a set limit, thus we can use unlimited, same as other companys. [/quote] it's always been a dodgy area for Companies to use the word unlimited, but it's always been used with FUP's. Clearly this won't be the case with Vodafone's data plans which will be set with a hard-limit at 500mb (or 1GB for iPhone/Nexus), so selling it as unlimited will be false advertising. [quote][i]Originally posted by bubble[/i] i suggest using a phone and seeing how much data you use in a month before complaining. ull be surprised [/quote] Why would i be surprised? :boggle: I do use a phone, i know exactly how much data i use a month and on average it's more than 500mb. [/quote]
