And by 'slowed down' they mean completely crippled to 25Kb/s at best. Also they seem to be slowing the sending of the sim so you can't cancel within your cooling off period, it's already passed by the time you get the sim!

Lissavane wrote: » That's a pity. I imagined that since billing is by calendar month, data usage would be counted on that basis too. Makes it that bit harder to monitor data usage.

Bunch of boys at the trustpilot complaining about the same thing, being throttled way earlier than 80GB. Anyone else experience the same issue?

I previously used three so I wasn't too sure how much data I was using. I've just gone back to my three sim. I'm considering getting another sim because the three coverage in our area is crap, gomo was much better. We're not in a fibre area and our line speeds are not great, normally around 2-3 mbps per second. It was anywhere between 0-10 mbps with three and around 25-30mbps with gomo.

Use the hotspot at home to watch Netflix and check work emails (no downloading) and just checked my usage on and it says 16GB used, which is nowhere near the limit. Was a bit suspicious of GOMO as they are backed by Eir who me and my family have had many issues with before but the 10 euro a month deal was too hard to resist. Contacted them so will see what they say.

bloodyhawk wrote: » You get a notification message directly from Gomo of your usage limit. You are able to monitor data usage through your smart phone@Mechatronical They got back to me saying it was an error, and that I would be reimbursed at the end of the month. Will see
JDxtra wrote: » If someone uses 80Gb in a month, then they are not using the service for what it was designed. They are using it as a replacement for a home broadband service. GoMo have been more than clear on the cap. Fair play to them for enforcing the rules. The cap is already more than generous. If someone needs a 4G home broadband service with a higher cap, then look at Vodafone Simply Broadband 4G (300Gb cap).
