For Orange customers - how do you find the 500MB cap?

[Guest TescoValueTariffNoMore]

I've been finding out about the Orange data plan, I knew it was £5 for 500MB but was surprised to learn that this is a cap and not a FUP.

To me this seems draconian and lags behind the other networks, but I was wondering what experiences other Orange customers with 3G phones have had with this?

Are you able to stay below the limit easily, or have you been charged for breaching it?
