And a big risk I'd say, as I'm sure that most of their customers choose Three because they want a faster and more reliable internet experience. If they decide to leave, many will probably move to EE, or even BT, who are already offering good deals (for the time being at least ).

Yes it was capped to 4GB. Is Three's capped at all?

[Curr946]

Well, so much for three being the "challenger" brand. Hahahaha. More like the challenging brand, offshore call centre and contracts you need to beg to cancel...


Welcome to the family 3 hahaha

It will be interesting to see what happens if the merger does eventually go ahead.

I think we are beginning to see them getting ready for it. Instead of bringing O2 up to allow us their benefits...they are bringing themselves down to O2's level (or as Rich said in management speak... "it would appear to be an exercise in pricing alignment."

Yup

The bottom line is, data is a finite resource, and unlimited products aren't sustainable in the long term, which is why most networks don't offer them anymore.

Most people don't actually need unlimited data, they just like the security of not having to worry about their allowance running out. If you remember, O2 increased the price of it's unlimited home broadband because they wanted people to move to a capped product, which was 10 GB if memory serves me well.

I'm still not convinced
