At the time of writing, only Be (and O2) offers truly unlimited data transfer across its range of products and it does not come as a surprise that none of the mobile broadband packages offers unlimited downloads.

Also reported by the BBC - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7684322.stm

Always makes me smile when people insist their ISP offers unlimited bandwidth.

TalkTalk 40 Gb, not unlimited, but much more than I'll need.

T-Mobile is 1GB IIRC, but i've never hit anywhere near it.. and its only if you keep going over every month.

virgin media fail. Bring on BE in Feb

Surely just don't advertise it as unlimited, if it really isn't?! How hard can it be - advertise it as what the limit actually is.

Same as with mobile phone - 3000 texts is the limit on 'unlimited' price plans. They're just lying plain and simple.

o2 FTW

I've given up trying to explain to people that their ADSL isn't unlimited... too much hassle. Heh.

40GB is fooking huge for the general user, can't understand why they don't just advertise this in the 1st place.

Should be done under false advertising IMO.

They say unlimited but more often than not there is a "fair usage policy"
