I don't know if anybody does, or ever did. I think it would be
unwise, there's always going to be somebody who will try to download
streaming video at the maximum for 24 hours, 365 days per year.

I typically use only about 150-200MB. per month, though for three days
while I was in Bradford for the Film Festival I did use about 100 MB.
per day, because it was covered by my standard £20 per month, and the
hotel Internet service was expensive. From my point of view, a pay
per MB. metered mobile service would probably be better, but T-Mobile
don't offer one, and since I use them for other things, I didn't
really want to go elsewhere. I'm not sure if anybody else offers such
a service now. Whether the limit is 1GB. or 3GB or 10GB per month
frankly makes no difference to me since I'm not going to use close to
any of those figures. To be fair to the staff at the T-Mobile shop,
they did clearly state what the limits were but I feel that to
describe the service as 'unlimited' in advertising is misleading; it
is limited, and it should be clearly stated what those limits are.

I certainly don't have any problem with the idea that heavy users of
the service should pay more for it.
