Re: Consumer 4G launching October 2016
 

"Virgin Media is to test Europe’s net neutrality rules after launching 4G services in the UK that offer free access to Facebook’s messaging apps WhatsApp and Messenger.

Those services will be “zero rated", meaning that they can be used without eating into a customer’s data allowance.

Although EU telecoms regulations do not forbid zero-rating, guidelines published by the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications — which will oversee the enforcement of the rules — have curtailed its usage. Networks are prohibited from providing free access to some apps if the data allowance is used up, for example."

Re: Consumer 4G launching October 2016
 

Guessing i'd lose the double data i have on the current plan if switching to 4G. Pay extra for half the data :(

Re: Consumer 4G launching October 2016
 

i logged onto my account but every time I try to load up "about my plan" I get an error page. I pay £10 a month and £12 separately for my iPhone.
