megalithic   10 #1 Posted September 3, 2014 Is it truly unlimited data ? I understand tethering would be excluded, which is fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Techtomic   10 #2 Posted September 3, 2014 I think it's 3.5GB then you get slowed right down during peak hours, something like that. So 'traffic managed' rather than 'limited' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
ESPAtHome   10 #3 Posted September 4, 2014 Looks like techtomic is correct http://store.virginmedia.com/the-legal-stuff/our-service.html the info around the acceptable use policy is about 3 quarters of the way down the page. says 3.5gb and then you get limited.

Techtomic   10 #4 Posted September 4, 2014 It's also worth having a look at Three's SIM-only plans if you're looking at a new deal. There's a £15 plan with unlimited phone data plus 4GB can be used tethered. Traffic management is generally on congested cell towers at peak times to make it usable, not a blanket cap. 4G capability too.  If you go abroad to e.g. the USA or Ireland, or various other European countries, you can use your minutes and texts and free incoming calls as if you were at home, plus 25GB data on your phone (no tethering abroad though).

Bonjon   10 #5 Posted September 4, 2014 I got a Three SIMO earlier in the year, and get unlimited tethering, since the demise of Origin/Digital region, it has been my sole connection at home, I have racked up over 100gb in the last 15 days, its been great. 4G too, and I was able to use it in France which is a plus. However as above for new signups its only 4gb tether now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
