Well they have traditionally had a different understanding of 'internet
access' to the rest of us, confusing it with 'web access', so maybe I
need to make some more enquiries.

Interestingly, I've just calculated what last month's bill would have
been under the new charging scheme, assuming a 5p minimum charge per
data session and capping at £1 a day (though knowing VF ssh/putty
traffic would be treated as the most expensive as they would have no way
of knowing if it was web/voip/file sharing etc so would would have to
assume it was the most expensive). Normally I'd pay £25 a month and
rarely go over my data/sms limit, but I reckon for the same usage it
would now cost £49.51 with no added benefits for me. That is an hefty
change.

I shall make some enquiries to Trading Standards next week to see what
the law says.

Mark.
