not use many MBs and the at least the particular Java program I used did not use
many MBs. The UK cell vendors count much higher if you pay them for roaming.
Problem with the EI wifi is that it is old slow technology so I do not think there
will be any advantage to the 270 MB plan. Also BOS-DUB has areas with no
connectivity at all. Plus areas where the wifi is very slow.
I purchased the 120 MB to send a critical email I came across while working offline. Just syncing my mailboxes (3) consumed 55 MB in seconds so the 120 MB level is simply ridiculous. 15 euro to send an email ?
But I guess this is the new Hotel phone revenue stream.
