Mobile broadband subscribers are being urged keep a close watch on their download caps after broadband comparison Web site Broadband Expert revealed users could face up to a 200 bill if they exceed their limit by 1GB.
Research by the broadband comparison site revealed that O2 and 3 charge the most for exceeding download limits, with O2 expecting customers to fork out at 19.6p per MB. 3 charges users 10p per MB.
"Information on run on rates is not always easy to find and not obviously visible on most advertising," said Rob Webber, Broadband Expert's commercial director.
Webber was keen to point out that the exception to this is O2, which clearly communicates the rates on its website.
"Whilst many deals may appear to be very closely matched, it is important to take excess charges into account, as there can be huge differences between one provider and another," added Webber.
