Fair enough. It's "unlimited usage" with "full speed up to 5gb" and "half/quarter/crippled speed after". All clear and fair. Unlike certain Telicoms, mobile and ISP companies who say "all you can download" then throw a wobbly when you actually do. :slap:

Unless I'm missing something this relates to US customers and not the UK who are even more restricted on mobile internet access.

But shock and horror, are the US companies more honest in their advertising and FUP?
