Virgin Media cable here in the UK, 50Mb service (due to be upgraded to 100Mb in the coming weeks for no additional cost) gives a steady ~48.5Mb down and 4.7Mb up. As stated further up the thread, 'traffic management' restricts me to a max download of 10GB during the day, and another 5GB down in the evening, but is genuinely unrestricted at all other times. I pay £37.50/month for this - I could get this cheaper if I chose to get my TV from Virgin as well, but have opted to keep them separate, albeit at a slightly higher cost.
Phone was purchased outright and unlocked and is on a Simplicity tariff from O2 - more calls and texts than any sane adult could use for £13/month on a rolling (30-day notice) contract. Only includes 100Mb of data, which is usually just about enough as I'm mostly in reach of WiFi, though I can add more (e.g. 500Mb for £3) at any time if I need it.
I'm on Orange Pay As You Go for iPad 3G - very cheap option for a low user like me (basically just keeps contacts and calendars in sync and some very light browsing) don't think I've ever paid more than £1 a month, and payments are taken by direct debit so there's no 'topping up' required. Again, 30-day rolling contract, nothing long-term.
Great thread - very interesting, thanks!
