GPRS charges

[Guest simon11]

I have just been looking at the charges for gprs after your spv trial period is over. As far as I can see 10mb of download which costs £25.00 is the equivalent of 150 web pages.

As you can easily view this amount of pages in one good web browsing session, isn't it a little expensive.

I can surf 15 pages just to find what I am looking for.

1/2mb which is £4.00 is a waste of time. If you go over it is £8.00/mb.

Have I got these figures right or am I missing something?

Simon.

As with the old (non-SPV) charges, the key to the NEW ones is "how much does it cost if I go over the limit??" And in "simplifying" things, I think we may have actually complicated them. It's worthwhile getting a piece of graph paper and working out (in different coloured pens!) how much it costs to use X meg of data on each tariff. Pre change, for example, if you expected to routinely use 2 meg of data, it made sense to be on the FIVE megabyte bundle. Five meg, (throw away three every month,) was 25p cheaper (£15) than buying the 1/2 meg pack (for £4) and topping up with 1 1/2 extra meg @£7.50 (total £15.25) THE significant change in the new chart is the way "over the limit" usage flops-over from £3 per meg down to £1.50. The differences between other figures in the chart are relatively trivial. But it makes slightly more sense than the old 50 and 100 packages: NOBODY capable of doing simple sums would have used the 100 bundle, in that there were NO advantages over the "50", and several disadvantages!

Thanks for the link. I did a search on gprs charges but I didn't notice this. :oops:
