500mb? wow cant even watch a full lenth movie with that lol. Here in the US we have a pre paid plan from t mobile no contract $30 4g you get 5gb+100min/unlimited TEXT am getting 12-32mb speeds
With Virgin Mobile, you can get unlimited with no throttling (f⊗ke) 4g but with wimax, not LTE. Speeds are from 6mb-10mb.
You will have to root the phone, erase the phone's OS and install a custom ROM. They say after 2.5Gb they throttle you services, hahaha, I am still going full throttle after 300gb of downloading.
you have to remember that they're the only people offering this service at the moment, so their prices are extortionate and their limits are low. bit like ebay really. if you're the only people selling a certain product, and people want it badly, you're going to charge a premium.

They're charging 36 pounds for 500mb!! Hahaha
......and its a two year contract!! Bwah hahahaha!!:D:D:D
Are you referring to a mobile broadband card (USB Dongle) or for your cell phone. Either way 500 MB for 36 pounds is extremely high but it will be wallet suicide after you start incurring those overages. You can use 500mb in an hour if you are not careful. Only ever sign up for a plan that is unlimited.
Also don't be fooled by the marketing term 4G. Their is no actual standard for what 4G constitutes as all it means is 4th generation. In the US it ranges from HSPDA+, which is barely faster then most 3G services to Wimax (justifiably faster then 3G) all the way to LTE which is very fast for a mobile connection.
Relax everyone. It's the first LTE provider in your region. Of course they will get retarded with the pricing. All they need is one competitor to come through and knock them back down to reality. The same crap happens any time a new type of cell service is introduced.
the prices for 4G will come down as more suppliers provide it, so just best to wait..a mean people who take out these 2 year contracts for it now, really have no brain IMO because in 1 year i bet it'll be half the price on half the packages offered now, the mobile phone industry is constantly changing and competitive believe me
I think next year sax you'll see that..you have to remember we're in a recession and people already think the VAT increase on phones/contracts is enough
you'll never get unlimited 4G contracts for a measly 25 quid a month! you don't even get proper unlimited 3G for that sort of money. you have to remember that there's barely any competition for a start......how many mobile operators are there? EE (orange & T mobile), vodaphone, 02, 3. that's about your lot. the rest (tesco, virgin, giffgaff etc) are MVNO's and rely on the other 4 for their services. Only Virgin could shake things up by piggy-backing on their cable network.
They have billboads and posters for this literally all over London... with silly slogans such as "Quickadilly Circus" (a play on words of Piccadilly Circus in the West End of London...) and "OM4G". I then checked the price/data allowance and almost choked on my own saliva.
