If you don't want that, it's £40 a year after the first year for 20 hours a month. But as James says, if you manage to go over that, I'll be quite impressed. And slightly worried.

PocketSurfer uses some clever crunching and compression on the server side to make its data use as light as possible, add that to its poor Flash support (it does it, but only a frame every 3 seconds or so), and lack of any real media abilities, and you'd actually find it pretty hard to rack up an obscene usage level!... unless you've got something specific in mind?! Do tell!.... I was at the launch, and the impression given was that it really is unlimited.

Also does anyone know if the £60 unlimited for life option, is truly unlimited - ie. as many hours as you want per month, or is it a lifetime of 20 hours per month, as included in the first year of use.
