The UK will soon have three well-priced unlimited Internet access via cellphone plans following this news that Orange are to introduce an all-you-can-eat package. Users will be able to take Internet ‘snacks’ [all this food talk is making me hungry, I need breakfast...] or pay �8 and get unlimited monthly usage. unfortunately, there are no T&C’s available at the moment so its not clear what the Bluetooth /USB tethering policy will be. Hopefully it will be different to X-Series and allow PC’s to be tethered – its important for UMPC users. Info from The Times Online:

OrangeContract: Internet ‘snacks’� @ 30p for 15mins with daily cap of �1.50 or a ‘bundle’� priced at �1 per day or �5 monthly for evening/ weekends or �8 monthly ‘anytime’
Pay-as-you-go: Internet snacks @ 40p for 15 mins with daily cap of �2 or a daily �1 bundle

3Contract: �5 per month unlimited usage

T-Mobile Contract: �7.50 per month unlimited browsing on ‘WebnWalk’� or capped at �1 day for other customers
Pay-as-you-go: Capped daily at �1

It was only three or four months ago that Three UK announced their X-Series service which offered a breakthrough unlimited access package for �5 and its nice to see others follow. I hope the trend spills over into mainland Europe because I’ve just had to pay �20 for 200MB per month in Germany. Best offer here in Germany is 02′s 5GB access for 25 Euro. What’s the best offer in your country?
