Does anyone use this?

Looking for one for my mate.

She wants one that has a high download speed, and has unlimited downloads.

Is there such??

Please if u have any advice or information.

Thank you.

No such thing as unlimited, so no.

The ones on 3 are supposed to be good, 1Gb for £7.50 or 3Gb for £15. But beware, for every Gb you go over, they will charge you £100.

According to my friend who has one.

Wrong, £25 per month no limit - T-mobile or Vodafone, HSPUA USB Modem

If you can get a good HSPDA signal then you can get download speeds of 7.2MB (3.8Mb seems to be the limit) I'm connected using a Vodafone dongle (HSPUA) at the moment which also gives upload speeds of upto 7.2Mb but 3Mb seems about the limit, very fast and a lot faster than most ADSL max copper lines, if you move into a area with no HSPDA then it will roam to 3G or even worse GPRS in which case you may as well not bother

Where did u buy urs from?? Vodafones shop?

I pay £25 per month for three for a 7gb limit, which is fine for what I do. Most the "unlimited" ones on offer are subject to a fair usage policy of 3gb's which is a load of crap really.

I spoke to a women in Vodafone, and she said that there is no way they can charge you for going over ur download limit, but are in the process of finding a way of doing this, but for now u can go wild apparently!

Don't trust her tho!

Not a chance.
Got a link? There *will* be small print.

I think the only semi-unlimited data tariff is O2 on the iPhone, but even then, it's "reasonable" use if I remember.

If it was £25 truely unlimited, everyone would get it. They usually fair limit you to 3GB or similar a month.

(Edit: T-Mobile seems to be 3GB, Vodafone seem to be 3GB/5GB or similar)

This is true, I work for a comapany that supplies the network infastructure and it is uncapped at the moment, I have downloaded 32GB this month.....no extra charge

Well, I'd trust the terms and conditions which say £15 per GB over.

If they don't do it, they could at any point.. and at 32GB, say you're 27GB over.. £405, ouch

Not true, this is direct from Voda.........

The integrated web usage will be subject to a fair usage policy of 500MB per month, which goes some way to making up for the previously extortionate charges of £7.50 for 120MB. Although Voda reckons users can browse 50 web pages for 1MB, which seems a little optimistic unless those 50 pages are all Google's homepage. Then again, the Big V does use a web proxy system from Novarra which compresses each and every web page for viewing on the mobile.
