Mobile phones no longer used for calls

Mobiles are expensive thing in UK

The mobile charges in UK are just too expensive, it cost a huge portion of wages. As I knew, in South Korea, Japan or China, mobile charges including Internet surfing, a giant amount of call minutes (even unlimited) only cost half day's wage in average. But, in UK, it's quite often that you may need to spend a whole day's or even 2 day's wage to pay for a limited amount voice call minutes.

In some cases, the providers are just want to bound their customer with contracts and force them to purchase their handsets.(You never get a suufficient amount of minutes with pay as you go)

Cigarette fire takes out Internet2

Internet2 may be coming, but fair usage policy generation 2 as well!

At this stage, I am really not so sure if BT or any other provider will invest to Internet2. As you see, we have been falling behind in the speed competition for many years and ISPs are still playing with their FUP,AUP... recently. To be honest, there is no hope that things could be improved. They are doing business. What they want is just money but not speed or quality, unless our government would like to alter this situation.

Orange simplifies data charging

Fair usage policy, unfair to customer!

How come UK's providers are always playing with those fair usage policy without specify the definition of fair and unlimited. I would say, in the near future, we will see a lot of tariff claiming "UNLIMITED" but actually limited and even worse than those limited plans.

Now, we got unlimited limited broadband, unlimited limited mobile internet, unlimited limited landline call and what's the next? May be unlimited limited utilities supply!!!! lol!
