[font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]All-you-can-eat data on The One Plan.[/font]

[font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]What's the limit?[/font]

[font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]There are no restrictions for the all-you-can-eat data that now comes with The One Plan. This means you can use your smartphone as you like - so you can download apps, browse the web, look at maps and check your emails as often as you like.[/font]

[font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]This is what Three post on their website. however the moderators on their blog say this:[/font]

[font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]You’ll only have your traffic managed if you are a disproportionately high data user (in the top 5% of high data users) and when you are using data in a busy cell site area between peak hours of 3pm to 12am. Try to move some of your data usage outside of these hours. You should see a speed improvement after seven days.[/font]

[font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]However they seem to forget that they throttle you down to 75Kbps which is near dial up speed. I actually get 0.02Mb/s now.[/font]

[font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]They created the one plan and all you can eat data as a limit free data usage service they appear to have back tracked on their promise and breached contracts that where out before this [/font]http://support.three.co.uk/srvs/cgi-...20mana*%27came[font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]into affect.[/font]

[font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]However they still claim this when you ask them: [/font]

[font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]I can confirm that with all-you-can-eat data there are no restrictions or hidden ‘fair use’ policies on the amount of data you can use. This means you can use your smartphone as you like – so you can download apps, browse the web, look at maps and check your emails as often as you like without worrying about going over a data allowance. I’m afraid it does not cover sending a MMS, it’s best to check out our pricing guide to confirm how much this would be.[/font]

[font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]My contract is a year old and predates traffic sense i found this [/font]http://consumers.ofcom.org.uk/2011/0...your-contract/[font=verdana, geneva, lucida,] so im cancelling my contract Three are meant to be ringing back in 24 hours to discuss it.[/font]

[font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]As this is a breach of our right as not only did they do it without notifying us they changed our contract for the worse.[/font]

[font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]and i used 10GB over 2 months so 5gb a month i hardly think that a lot. And as this is my only internet connection for work and home i am now stranded between those hours as the speed is so slow half the time connections time out.[/font]
 
thats actually a lie

and there are "fair use" policies, they protect their servers from overload like that.

all companies that say unlimited, they do have actual limit, such as o2 which has unlimited texts and calls for 15£ a week, untill couple months ago they had a limit of 11k something texts but they reduced that to 3k, which i realised after i actually reached that limit in two weeks lol.
 
Ok Blair. Now tell me where will you find a better contract with better speeds and less data limitations or anything close to what Three offers? Not even speaking of the price here yet...

GiffGaff offer unlimited and lower prices. and most networks have better speed than three now at least they dont lie and claim throttling doesn't exist and basically cut you off between 3pm and 12am with a 0.02mb/s connection. i payed for the amazing three "all you can eat data" with "no limitations or fair usage policies" i am not getting this now. this is my only internet connection which i need for my work and home and is causing a great deal of problems for me they didnt even have the decency to inform you.

There are lots of complaints on GiffGaff forums of throttling. They do state that they do indeed throttle.
