Difference between unlimited data and always on

I want to know what is the difference between unlimited data(35£) and always on data (25£)
thank you.

If you have an ‘Always On’ allowance, then after 80 GB of data used you’ll experience a reduced data speed of 384kbps from 8am to Midnight.

If you have a goodybag with ‘Unlimited’ allowance then we’ll monitor the amount of data you’re using. Avoid tethering to 12 or more devices or regularly using around 650GB of data twice within a 6-month period.

If we suspect you are in breach of this Fair Usage Policy, we may investigate your usage further to ascertain whether your unlimited data usage is in line with this Fair Usage Policy and take action as set out here, under Traffic Management https://www.giffgaff.com/terms#giffgaff-fair-usage-policy

flaxvert regularly using around 650GB of data twice within a 6-month period.

Just for clarity, that would be 2 months each at 650 gb?
Any thought on situation that used 1,000 gb in a month and 5 months of 400 gb?

pds01144 You had to complicate things didn’t you! 😁 I copied the info from their ‘terms’ page mate, although with it stating regularly using around 650GB of data twice within a 6-month period Regularly? Twice isn’t regularly.. Unless it means twice in 6 months every 6 months over a 5 year period, then it would be regularly using the twice in a 6 month 650GB of data..

Clear as mud 😃

As the terms are vague I had hoped your more substantial experience with giffgaff would provide additional insight. 😎

Can’t wait for the first complaint from someone cut off who was using 645 gb every month. 🤣
