This was exactly my point. A "flat rate" with a daily max of 50MB
is like renting a car at SF Airport with "unlimited mileage",
where you are charged US$ 1 for every mile over 100 miles/day.
Is Vodafone really advertising this as a "flat rate"? I think they
would need to change the dictionary definition of "flate rate"...
H" flat rate is really flat rate... even if you use 1 billion MByte
there is no extra charge.
