I reset my data counter on the 1st June and so far i have downloaded just over 20 Gb and i have not heard anything from vodaphone, no texts, calls, letters, i even logged onto my account and no messages or excess billing. Very strange... I think i probably slipped though the net, this month, because by the end of the 1st, i had already downloaded more than 512mb. Their computerised checking (algorithm) is probably not that smart, and probably just detects when users cross a boundary; this is all a guess by the way.

I have downloaded between 40 and 50 GB per month for the last 5 months. I use my n900 as my main internet connection, because i'm only living at my current address for 6 months (2 months to go). the point is that i dont want to sign up to a 12 month broadband connection and i agreed a contract which included unlimited data. There was no mention of a FUP when i took out my contract, neither verbally or in writing. Unlimited means unlimited. The cellular infrastructure can easily handle the traffic; the operators are just trying to claw back a portion of the huge amount of money they paid for the 3g licences.

Scr*w vodafone, if they charge me, i'll send them a comprehensive letter and cancel my direct debit, lets see if they take me (and anyone else like me) to court. I doubt they will, i doubt they would win, and i doubt they could afford the costs. Any impartial judge would see they totally abused the word unlimited.
