Will The New O2 Data Limited Tariffs Make You Consider Leavi

[Anonymous]

Someone started a poll to question whether people think that data limitation/capping is fair.
I think that's the wrong question to ask. I agree, that if a small percentage of users are abusing the unlimited data option and reducing service for others, then yes, something does need to be done.

O2 say that 97% of its customers currently use less than the 500mb limit but does this include all of their customers or just smart phone/iphone users.

With the launch of the original iPhone, O2 had the market. If you wanted an iphone you had to go with O2. I for one did switch to O2 for this very reason. but the market is now competetive and people are no longer loyal to a brand, they want the best deal.

With technology moving on as quickly as it is, data usage on mobile devices is only going to increase.
We'll be expecting:
Better Apps = More MB
HD Content = More MB
Video/Audo Streaming = More MB
Live TV = More MB
More Email Attachments = More MB
Better Quality Photos (5 Mega Pixels) = More MB
Sat Nav Traffic information = More MB
Multitasking = More MB
Video Conferencing (Apples 'FaceTime') = More MB
The list goes on.

Some people have already checked their current usage and feel that they won't be affected but have they considered all of the above?

Surely, with these new Tarriffs O2 are offering 'Less for More', when the consumer market is always wanting 'More for Less'

The key question that O2 will need to be looking for is:

"Will the new O2 Data limited tariff's make you consider leaving O2?"

Yes, you have the freedom to pay O2 £5 if you need more data.

Absolutely will be considering leaving.

The "unlimited" data plan main selling point for me at least, was there for peace of mind that I would never receive any unexpected charges.

I for one believe the costs for these smartphone tariffs are already very high.

So with a price increase, introducing a data cap, the MMS changes, poor 3g coverage, and most importantly, they have lost the exclusivity of the iPhone...

Its a dream come true for O2's competitors.

Bye O2!

I might watch the entire weekend of Formula 1 via TVCatchup just to get my monies worth.

but then probably not, my whole point - i'm not an abusive user but can see our data requirements increase exponentially as time goes by whilst not being entirely our fault. Lets face it Apple have just annouced 2 features that will use bandwidth up.

In app advertising and FaceTime (Granted wifi only initially but it won't remain that way)

Can everybody who is leaving do if fairly soon, it's getting drafty in here and I want to close the door. Can't remember who it was but the guy threatening Ancient Ferguson, are you taking money on it. Already got my bet set up with O2 for £5 for every goal England score, betting on a fight between you two could make double the money.

(Sorry but my money goes with the older guy!!)
