About the transfer of wat was it 200k between pc's that would be pants, most pc's need at least 100/10mb. And just wondering that 115kb/s u sure that weren't 115 bytes a second? Lol. 20 quid a month for unlimited gprs! Screw that u can get broadband 512 connection for that price. Well 4 all the the ppl that still av free gprs dont see how they could charge ppl afterwards? As that would be like tellin u it's free to get into a pub or sumit then try charging u on the way out. Imho gprs should be free ;-)

I think £20 for unlimited GPRS is a little steep - it is correct that you can get 512K broadband for that - though the average PC is a little unpocketable methinks!
I suppose it is not really that bad a deal, only when we compare it to other means of data communication which work out better value...
Currently, for my sins, I pay about a fiver a month for Orange World (or whatever they call it), for 3mb's - I find this ample, though I am not a huge user of it 'cos GPRS is so slow - I thought it was meant to compete speedwise with 56k dialup, which is a little bit of a knightmare to work with at length at the best of times... though it is better than diap up wap i suppose...

well from my experience i think o2 are taking the piss i opted for the bolt on for my payg they say i should get 5 mb free well i get to about 2mb and then they charge me another thing that is a bit of a piss take is they say you get 100 wap pages to 1mb on orange you get 1200 wap pages if any one from o2 is reading this sort it out

You may have a point there... perhaps when the xda3 shows its face i shall move to 02 (better than mobile anyway!)... though to be fair when i got to have a little fiddle with the XDA2 at launch, i didn't fine O2's gprs to be any different... perhaps Iam just expecting too much... the average webpage takes a day and age to load up at best... well around 3 times slower than dial-up at least at a guess... though that is when Orange GPRS is actually working properly!...
As to the person who mentions the 100 pages as opposed to 1200 pages - well I think both are a little optimistic - unless they use blank pages!...
My 3mb's allow checking of emails a few times a week, perhaps a little check of the weather and cinema listings here and there, and thats about it... if you try viewing "proper" web pages it disappears remarkably fast... i have never been over the 3MB though, which is strange since i often forget to check...
