Hi

Most will restrict the speed after an agreed amount; for mine a 3Gb limit after which the speed reduces to twice dial-up (SLOW)

In the Vodafone control panel, Settings, Usage, change the Usage Limit to 3000 MB. It might work - it does for me.

Hi,
I have a pay as you go vodafone internet dongle.
Although expensive it is ideal as we are not in Spain all the time.
I buy a "bono" (voucher) for the amount I want to use, which expired after 3 months.
In November I received a text saying that the vouchers would now last for 10months, so in January I bought a voucher for 60 euros for 1 gig, (I normally buy the 39 euro size) but I got a text back saying it would only last 3 months, the web site also says it only lasts 3 months.
Does anybody know which is correct, 3 months or 10?
I have texted and emailed vodafone, but, guess what? No reply.

Look here bonos por volumen - it seems the one you have is unlimted.

"Look here bonos por volumen - it seems the one you have is unlimted."
Thank you Rachelk.
I had taken the two little lines under the "periodo" to mean the same as the one above, ie 90 days.
It does indeed look as if it could be unlimited, thank you.
I will let you know at the end of March if it is only 3 months.
Many thanks for pointing out my mistake, I am now very happy. My 59 euros will now last for about 5/6 weekly visits, making it very much more reasonable.

I hadn't considered that possibility. You'll know soon enough,

I've just ditched my Vodafone dongle because of the slow and unreliable service. I'm now on a telefonica landline - I should have done it a year ago.
