Vodafone introduces "out of bundle" data fees

(1/4) > >>

Simon:
Vodafone is introducing charges for customers who exceed the data cap on their mobile phone tariff.

In a message posted on the Vodafone forums the company says it will initiate charges from 1 June to "make it fairer for everyone, and to protect our network from data abuse".  The new scheme will see pay monthly customers charged £5 for every additional 500MB of data after the first 500MB. Non-contract customers will be stung for 50p per 10MB after the first 25MB, which means pay-as-you-go data is somehow five times more expensive than contract.

sam:
wow, that's steep... hasn't anyone told them that bandwidth is cheap!

Simon:
It does seem more of a penalty than a reasonable charge.  Glad I'm with O2.  :)

Rik:
Time to ditch the dongle. >:(

Simon:
Don't other providers offer them?
