i assume so as the prices quoted for Three's service are the price inc VAT

wirelessdude so you work for vodafone..........could you advise me on where or who i need to get in contact with to find out if and when Vodafone plan to upgrade a mast near to me?

Cheers!

Not really going to be impressed until they start giving decent caps. 5gigs with a 1.8meg connection is a joke really.

Lol, if you want to dl movies then get dsl:) 5 gigs is decent for mobile bb. It would take alot of emails and web surfing to use it up.

And besides that, I'm sure that your usage is not capped at 5 gigs, they prob start charging you per meg after 5 gigs.

well to be fair now we do give a decent cap with a decent price when compared to what 3 are offering

@wirelessdude, could this price change mean that those of us paying €49.99 a month are not restricted to a 5GB cap? :-)

I'm on the edge of coverage at home and only get 3G in heavy winds.
Have you any suggestions (or products even!) for improving
reception on the E220 USB unit?
I've read that they use the USB cable as an antenna.
If that's true, do you know what is the best type and length of cable to use
for maximum gain?
(you'll be sorry you mentioned working for vodafone, but at least it's related to everyone's favourite product!)

@godskitchen, if you find out any way of getting current info on 3G mast upgrades, could you let us know?
This is the best I've found, but I don't know how up to date it is.
