http://vfau.me/dcg4nI'm guessing a few people got this lovely message. "Vodafone is implementing a correction to its billing systems...data usage charges in line with customers' existing contracts but were not previously billed..."
These consist of file sharing, Skype et al, and services that "require a personal log in (eg. Hotmail and Internet banking)"
Ahem, picking my jaw up.
"Based on your recent data usage, we believe that you may be affected by a higher than usual bill once this correction takes place."
Ahem, scratching my head with my crumbling jawbone. Firstly either this company monitors my data usage or they simply 'believe' I've been skypeing and sharing massive files over the blistering 3G, 1 generous gig of data, vfail network, in which case either way it's plain loco and possibly illegal. Secondly, not only have I not been able to, (even if I wanted to), do these things, the reason why I have high data usage is because I'm currently relying solely on a 3G network that requires that I reload pages repeatedly and more often than not has load times that I can make a cup of tea in. Thirdly, and this one just kills me, nearly every site that I habitually use - banking, mail, the whole Internet for gods sake - requires security. A log in. And now I'm to be charged for this!?
Help me out, have I just read this whole thing wrong, have I been text spammed by an angry employee who's using my personal details (there's history of this at vf), or is the worst provider in Australia asking for more money from customers who have yet to receive that which they paid for?
Oh by the way, sounds like they want to charge for tethering now.
