When they introduced the 500Mb tariff they sent all users a txt stating that data was now "unlimited" .. I was working away from home, took them at their word, thought unlimited meant unlimited and watched an awful lot of video from my Slingplayer on my N95 (I dream of Slingplayer on the N900.. but that's another thread) anyway, that month I racked up 5Gb of data..
Then I read the small print, realised the limit wasn't "un" it was 500Mb.. so I called voda, the first customer rep I spoke to obviously wasn't too clever but did tell me they charged per Meg for very Meg over 500 and i would be getting a bill for a couple of grand.. cue cold sweat..
I called again, and the next rep was more knowledgeable and said that if you go over now & then they do nothing, they only charge if you make a habit of it.. sure enough I wasn't charged.
But I watch data like a paranoid hawk now.. and don't forget they count up AND downstream data, not just downloads..
