Legit Unlimited Mobile Broadband

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
has anyone heard or used the unlimited mobile broadband service from thedatajack.com? According to the company, it's a true unlimited service with no fine print. Looks interesting, but there's not much to back it up in terms of reviews and such. Would like to hear your input.

The 30-40 (USD or Euro or ..) a month for flat rate mobile surfing is nothing new. One can probably get a cheaper rate dealing directly with mainstream ISPs such as Verizon, ATT etc ...

This company surely is just a middle man using the service of the main players above and tag on a small administrative fee to subscribers.

Here in Europe, I use a USB surf stick, paying a one-time fee of €40, then 99 cents per day - no minimum fee, no contract.

cheers ...

i'm not sure about mobile broadband in europe, but in the states, true unlimited broadband is rare. most if not all, especially mainstream providers, monitor the amount of bandwidth used. in addition, most cap the transfer at 5GB monthly then charge additional beyond that. this company claims to be unlimited and does not monitor the amount of data transferred which is appealing. however, as with other things, it seems too good to be true.

Interesting with the capping of 5GB. I just read my contract again, the only imposed cap is that my speed would drop down to ISDN performance once I hit 5GB, but no extra charge.

I read their Customers Agreement and saw no hidden fine print either. Very attractive and (too good to be) true offer

cheers ...

telus in canada used to do it, as when the services first came out there was competition and other providors were briefly offering it too. A friend still has a old 'golden' contract with no strings, but they basically pulled it as people were downloading movies etc

I have a 3G dongle from UK and it has 120gb total limit, i was really suprised at how little it eats into the reserve from normal use, even with days stock trading on a laptop. Ive barely used any GB. Helps to set it up for no auto updating software.

However, my brother had same thing and without thinking downloaded a patch for COD world at war. Bingo, no GB left

As a secondary backup or mobile interent these things are great, as a primary then its not really feasible to have cheaply as the GBs go fast with service packs or videos/photos etc

They just drop our monthly flat rate fee to €14.99 a month, still no storage limit, only speed constraint after one hits the 5gigo plateau.
