@ Daedalus85 - I appreciate your input, however, I really can't ignore the fact that O2 themselves advised me (and others on here) that the limit IS 250MB.
@ Alpha Trion - thanks, that info certainly got me thinking and never knew Opara compression was so good. Although, however good my deal is, I was perfectly happy with my old genie tarrif which was just as good. BUT, I only had wap internet access and while this was unlimited I could never actually use it on my N82 as the option was not included (data call in data bearer missing). So the whole point of me upgrading and paying MORE is solely for the added benefit of internet and then I will finally be able to proper use of my N82.
I'm happy to hear you can survive on 250MB and MAYBE, now I know Opera has such excellent compression, maybe I could too. However, can I REALLY take the change and be stuck with an 18 month contract if 250MB is not even close to being enough for me??? I don't thinks it worth the chance. At least if I cancel now, I can use a 02 PAYG sim with a web bolt on to test and see just how much data I get through. And thats only if I can be bothered with it, when knowing I can just go with Orange or 3 etc and get a large 'unlimited' limit.
My requirements are simple, not a caller, so don't need many mins, am a texter but generally don't go over 200 monthly, HOPEFULLY will be a surfer, and will more than likely use this to its fully capacity.....so the large the limit, the better.
Oh and one more thing. The t&c states, no streaming allow, and yet they gave me a Nokia 5800?!?! A multimedia phone with iplayer built-in.........and yet I'm not allow to stream and even if I was I wouldn't get far with a limit of 250MB?! lol.
The whole 'unlimited' thing is a joke and I'm starting to wish I never entered in to this in the first place (never effect me until now). Should just wait until the governing bodies etc come down on these cowboys miss selling left right and centre!

I went over 250mb and i was using operamini on a K600 most the time, if you find 250mb isn't enough on the pay-and-go sim, try a 3UK pay-and-go sim.
But i think it is unlimted for 02 contracts , probley why there network is so slow and useless is everyone has unlimted data.

How come this isn't made plain in their Ts & Cs. Is there not a web link to this info.
How come other companies make it easy to find but not O2?

Terms and conditions say:
The Web Bolt On allows you unlimited use of Telefónica O2 UK Limited's Edge/GPRS/ 3G networks (as applicable to your handset), for personal internet use via your mobile phone. All usage must be for your private, personal and non-commercial purposes. You may not use your SIM Card:
in, or connected to, any other device including modems;
to allow the continuous streaming of any audio / video content, enable Voice over Internet (Voip), P2P or file sharing; or
in such a way that adversely impacts the service to other O2 customers.
There is no mention of fair usage poicy or limit so it must be unlimited or else they are breaking the terms of your contract that they have to abide by as well as you.

Well for them:
"in such a way that adversely impacts the service to other O2 customers"
..is their get out clause so it looks like they can cut you off whenever they feel like.
How is any unsuspecting O2 user supposed to know when they might impact other users? There is no distinction between PAYG and monthly in that statement and there is no data limit either. All very vague.

Hi dupfold,
glad to hear you found my comments useful but it just occured to me, you wouldn't be able to use operamini to stream any uk/bbc/itv based website media because opera's servers are outside the uk when browsing bbc/iplayer etc the contect isn't available on your phone as the website believes you to be trying to access the content from outside the uk as well.
So this instance you might be back to square one again!

I doubt many people would download a 5MB MP3 EVERY SINGLE DAY on their phone.
I'm going to leave you all to your ignorance in this thread, I've said my piece several times, and clearly it's not sinking in, have fun.
this guy is the rudest person in this forum
about 20 people have asked o2 and other companies and all got the same answer
