I stopped taking it seriously when they said "250mb cap". What the hell are you going to do with that?

  What are you doing with your phone? I have a 1.5 GB a month data plan and only very rarely go over that.

    Some people use their phones as their main computer.

      I'm guessing many of those people have a 'real' internet connection at home and at work which they'll be using most of the time.

        4G LTE nowadays is often faster than the average non-NBN broadband at home or work though.

          non-NBN? I get 85mbps pretty consistently from my cable provider, which is faster than I get on LTE.

            How about upload? I only get 2.5Mbps uplink via Bigpond Cable.

  assuming they quota based on MAC address.. sudo ifconfig en0 ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

    It's somewhat difficult to get a wireless card that will let you spoof the MAC. Also: >"The model works by providing free access in exchange for users’ personal and behavioral data, which are then used to target ads to them." I suspect they are jamming cookies in your browser so you would need to clear them out as well in case they track based on that.

  250MB a day is around 7GB a month, so still quite a lot in mobile data terms.
