Vodafone offer free mobile broadband for a day

vf_logo_twitterCustomers of Vodafone UK are to get a new flat rate 50p daily rate for mobile data starting from May 1st – and to launch the offer the operator is offering free browsing for 24 hours.

Tomorrow (Friday) is ‘Freeday’, so pay as you go and contract customers who don’t already subscribe to a monthly mobile internet bundle will be able to surf the web for nowt. After May 1st it’ll just be 50p a day flat rate – a 50% reduction on the old £1/day flat rate tariff. The usual ‘it’s unlimited but really there’s a limit’ terms apply – and Vodafone are upping the cap from 15MB to 25MB.

If you’re more of a power user than a casual browser, and assuming you’re a pay monthly contract customer, Vodafone’s add-on packs are still better value for money – £5 a month for the length of your contract or £7.50 a month with no ties.

More curious, however, is what Vodafone customers do with their mobile internet connection. Stats from the company reveal that the most visited sites are Facebook, Google, BBC, YouTube, Windows Live, Bebo, and eBay. The top Google searches are Facebook, Bebo, eBay, Hotmail, YouTube, Yahoo, MSN, Google, Flirtomatic and BBC.

Yes that’s right, the top eight most searched term on Google by Vodafone customers is ‘Google’. Now we all know who to blame if the Internet breaks.
