2 weeks ago i bought a 6monthweb internet booster, yesterday the booster was removed. i called customer services and they said it was removed because i breached the fair use policy, i did not know there was a fair use policy because the text that i got after buying the booster said "thank you for buying a booster, you now have unlimited email and internet which i interpret to mean unlimited email and unlimited internet. customer services would not put the booster back on or refund me. how do i get my £40 back

how is 500mb unlimited i can use that in 10 minutes. they should not call it unlimited if the allowance is really 500mb. what is the reason that it is 500mb

The 500mb is the Download limit, (or Streaming Video, music etc) after this you can still access the Internet, browse etc, just not download.

 

Used to be £20 for 6 months in the UK, I believe your one is £40 for 6 months Web in Europe, the 5 Day, and 30 Day Monthly ones had the same limits, from memory the only one that was truly Unlimited was the 1 Day T Mob Web and Orange World for a £1 a Day, but it's been a while now, at least 15 years since I was playing around with them Add Ons.

 

TBH I don't know why EE cut your Add On off, as the Network would restrict after 500mb automatically, unless there was some other reasons involved

 

 

my speed never got restricted, it allowed me to download 100gb before the booster got removed, i know my data usage has not damaged the network because i did the downloading overnight, not during the day and i know that the wholesale price of data is about 1p per gb so ee still make a profit

@ythguanluke  Doesn’t matter when you do it it’s the fact you broken the T&Cs of the add on.

do you still have this text ?   As you can not prove anything without that text .    The image above shows what you get for your he £40 and what allowance that has.  

 

 

just to add you’ll never get unlimited data for 6 months for £40 as a one off payment.
