Wow[edit]

Running 24/24 7/7 this would be 350 kilobytes per second....Some performance

Deceptive? Yes[edit]

With all the fine print and misleading information, I would say that cell phone providers all over the world are deceptive in their offers. $49.99 for UNLIMITED* Internet is anything but. DWolf2k2 (talk) 03:27, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Facebook, YouTube and emails only[edit]

Of course all they did was surfing Facebook, YouTube, sending emails with attachments... We all know 16 and 19 yo people do not use Internet traffic in any other way than that... I'm not talking about illegal download (which everyone does), but do not think these people only do some "usual" everyday Internet use... --70.35.160.100 (talk) 19:43, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bandwidth should not be charged[edit]

I think its humane not to charge people by their usage especially when you are paying more than normal package .

The network should be free and accessible for every one . Of course heavy bandwidth consuming applications should be discouraged but not blocked.--Pavi (talk) 19:47, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia[edit]

Viewing this article would cost €0.03 under that plan --Gimmethegepgun (talk) 07:41, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deceptive, unfair.[edit]

Charging people based on what they do on the Internet is just... Well.. Idiotic. I honestly cant see why you would agree to such a plan, unless they were being decpetive

Clarification[edit]

Let me see if I understand this correctly: the customer paid for unlitied TIME on an internet connection that was high-speed, but had a data cap? Looks to me like he was out-right lied to. He did not, in fact, purchace 'unlimited internet' as he thought he did; he purchased only however long it takes to download to that cap. Can you sue companies for false advertising in France? --CyberStormAlpha (talk) 08:22, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
