This deal will either be hated or loved,depending on users internet habits and if people demand superfast internet...
I purchased one of these about 6 weeks ago (for a more expensive price from another seller!) and feel I can now post the deal as I have experience of the plan and overall very impressed. But the deal will only suit certain individuals based upon their web usage and the internet speeds they demand...
Basically you are free to browse the internet as much as you like, which means Facebook, Twitter, Internet Banking, EMail and general browsing in a web browser.
You then have 1GB for the likes of Streaming Music, YouTube and Video Chat.
When you are within your 1GB of data usage I am getting 3G data speeds of 10-16Mb/PS, depending on the signal strength.
If I exceed the 1GB of data I usually get a text, which according to the app on my tablet says I have used 1.5-1.75GB of data and the speed usually slows down to 1-2Mb/PS, the following day.
Then I am only supposed to be able to "Web browse", however YouTube and Streaming services continue to work, albeit with a little wait to start-up. So usually just turn down the video quality. But still works a treat and general websites load just as quick!
I used in total over 8GB of data (according to my app) and has worked a dream!
I am just a casual web browser when out and about, and only have my tablet with me when away from home for a day or two. It beats signing up to EE's current 4G plans where you only get 1GB of data for £10 a month!
***Users need to be aware this is a 3G Data Plan, and 4G data is NOT offered!***

Seems to me this is just a normal T -Mobile sim that you can get for 0.99p on Ebay with a 6 month Internet Booster for £20 added on the day the sim is sent out but still a good deal for 6 months data. Handy if you have dual sim phone
Save £7 - Just buy a sim for 0.99p free delivery from here
Top up the sim with £20 then text 6MONTHWEB to 441
Why is that?
For less than £5 a month, and no commitments to a contract or a worry of running out of data. I am super happy!
I am however not some business user, with high expectations requiring certain services.

If you can point me in the direction of where you have seen that, it would be appreciated. As in process of trying buy a 2nd SIM for another tablet.
EE, have now discontinued the T-Mobile brand for new customers, if trying to buy direct from them and these SIM's now only seem available through third party sellers.

was contemplating the 3gb pre loaded o2 sim for £8. that's 4g too and valid for 30 days.
1gb on pay as you go is £10.
this looks a good deal but no experience of t mobile

Would you not be better with the EE 6GB SIMS that can be bought on Amazon? 4G, good for 6 months and only £14.99 delivered.

once the internet runs out on your current package you can top up £20 and then call to add a further 6 month at £20
