Orange unlimited data sounds seedy; capped at 30 MB

Orange_logoCall me crazy, but if I saw a sign advertising an unlimited service, I’d expect… well… no limits to the quantity of said service. We already know that’s not the case with some U.S. cell carriers who unofficially cap their "unlimited" data plans at 5 GB. Apparently what’s good for the colonies is even better for the kingdom.

Orange is the latest company to institute this contradictory advertising policy: eight pounds nets you a month of "anytime unmetered data access" which actually maxes out at or 30MB. According to The Register, a slightly less expensive plan from Vodafone provides up to 130 MB of bandwidth monthly. Sheesh: I can blow through 30 MB in a few minutes by just downloading a podcast!
