Just checked my Virgin mobile and I can tether my iPad to it no problem.
I am a contract a tenner a month unlimited text, 250 minutes gobbing and 1Gb internet.
I could manage with a third of that but that's as little as they will go down to.
I have been lucky since I moved here but last year the Read Con had two power cuts and we had to drink either hand pulled draught, shorts or bottles ale. A few candles on the bar and we had an enjoyable evening without the electric. The till didn't work but the steward managed with paper and pen.
That's what it was like in the old days when you could go out on a Saturday night with half a farthing, get blathered, two fish suppers, a new suit, stage coach home and still have enough left over to pay your mortgage and feed the family. So they say.
