It will get "better" yet...
Vodafone in the UK started offering an "unlimited" data plan. When you
read the small print, "unlimited" is defined as being "up to 500MB"...
Curiously enough this has been tested in court now and found to be
acceptable. So we now have ADSL broadband plans offering "unlimited
access" (* up to 10GB), competing against "capped plans" of up to
10GB... crazy..
In the UK you can buy 1GB/month from "Three" for £10, 3GB for £15.
Multiply by about 1.4 to get USD equiv.
Unusual for the UK to have cheaper plans for anything to do with cell
phones though...
