Not much has been made of this but I happened across mention of it on the Thinkbroadband forums.
A further well targeted Google and the sad news was confirmed.
To ensure that nobody will buy it again the price has been doubled.
In a slight breach of copyright (I see it as review) but to ensure that this change isn't airbrushed out of mobile network history this is what EE (T-Mobile) have to say on the subject:
T-Mobile pay as you go price increase
We know they’re not popular but
we haven’t actually increased any of our rates since 2013, and in that time the
costs of running our business have continued to rise. Our EE pay as you go
rates are staying the same and you can buy packs of minutes, data and texts to
get even better value.
Find out more about switching
seamlessly to EE by visiting one of our stores or go to ee.co.uk/movetoee.
How will I
know if my price is increasing?
All customers who are impacted by
the price increase will be contacted. You will receive a minimum of 30 days'
written notice (via text) notifying you before the increase takes place.
What the
2016 T-Mobile pay as you go price rises mean for you
From 10 October 2016 we’ll be
making changes to the costs of some internet boosters on T-Mobile.
Please see below the new charges
for your internet booster:

T-Mobile "So long, and thanks for all the data"
I've just come across this post and I think the 6monthweb is still a good offer at £40 (and I didn't know until I saw the previous relevant post that I could get as much as 1GB per month, I thought it was half that). I'm with a T-mobile scheme that gives me sufficient texts and speech for merely topping up so this is a slightly amended summation I posted in the EE forum
ReplyDeleteOver 6 months, and comparing my present T-Mobile account, combined with a 6monthweb booster, with EE's £10 Everything pack ...

Cost £60 £60
Text unlimited unlimited

Thanks for the comment Haydon.
ReplyDeleteArguably it is still good value at £40, however at £20 it was splendid.
EE obviously are retiring the T-Mobile brand and with it the T-Mobile offers.
It was a great offer before. not sure if I'm going to stay. I've started looking for a new internet provider.
