Meteor Pay as you go Internet raping me!

    Hi,
    Just wondering for those of you that use the internet from your mobile regularly, what network / price plan are you on?

    I have been with Meteor for a while now, my only complaint really is this euro a day thing with the internet.

    Even if I use it just once or twice a day it ends up costing me a fortune, €20 credit isn't long going.

    Just wanted to know if there was any better solution on a prepay plan?
    Thanks.

    There's no better solution on prepay with Meteor.

    Have a look at 3 maybe if you want 1GB for €10 / month maybe?
    Vodafone if you want 19c /MB.
    O2 have the same pricing as Meteor in terms of prepay data.

    You're probably spending less with the 99c / 50MB / daily with Meteor now than you would have been beforehand, so in that regard it's an improvement over what used to exist. I agree that 99c / day does work out very expensive in a month though.

    Thanks. Just had a look at the stickies, should have read that before starting a new thread :o

    I like the sound of the 3 offer. I'd definitely consider switching if they have a free text offer to compare to Meteors.

    Here's a post from the FAQ about data pricing

    Tesco is one that few consider .. but I probably wouldn't go with it myself to be honest.

    The 1GB per month for €9.99 is fairly sweet alright.
    The talk and text offer seems pretty good aswell, for 99c you get 700 texts for a week, and 200 minutes weekend talktime to any network. Seems too good to be true.

    Edit: Read it wrong, 99c a day. So is it €7 for a week of texts and weekend of calls?. Still not too bad.

    Edit: Ya, it's 6.93 for the week.

    and 70e free credit if you move your number to 3, you can pick up a sim for 9.99

    best of both is worth a look as well....
