"Unlimited web access subject to a fair use policy of 25MB per day

IIRC the charges for going over the limits are quite high, but I can't
locate them on their website at the moment.


£2 per MB.

That's pretty hefty. If I hadn't bothered to look it up, previously,
I would have expected to be charged at most 30p for each 25MByte
increment.

Having said that, I don't think I've ever gone over about 12MBytes in
a day of what I consider pretty heavy Internet browsing from my
handset... email, web pages, Google Maps and IM.

By the way, adult content blocking is set to on by default, so I
wonder what they mean by "unlimited?" Oh, perhaps I should add that I
know this because eBuddy IM is block because of it.
