Just Googled and looks like they removed it about a month ago, so should be unlimited.
Probably a fair use policy somewhere in there though.

I've not been capped on my new contract. It is the same as my data allowance.

The only cap is 15G if you use it abroad under the Feel at home countries.
Have they removed the Cap?, no mention of it now on their offers, just you can use your data for tethering.
Plus they have a BF deal of unlimited min/txt/data, @ £20 a month
Fair play usage is 1000Gb tethering per month on the unlimited sim I think
Don't forget quidco on this deal, can get £70 cashback Makes it an absolute bargain!

Guys - is there anything stopping you getting the £20 SIM and sticking it in an iPad?
It has to be a tablet sim i think, last time I tried my phone SIM in my iPad it said not available.

Fair enough! I was half thinking about the £20 and using it in a WiFI dongle but I think they do distinguish between mobile and Mobile Data
What did you pay?
If you tell them to reduce the mins to 600 they will knock they price further
The info I have (Ofcom ruling forced three's hand ) Sim can be used in any device /dongle/tablet etc, not just the mobile.
No more tethering cap(up to you contract limit), Roaming data from the 28th December goes up from 15Gb to 19Gb.
Have used my sim in the campers MiFi dongle for a day no problems of issues.
All I was looking for was unlimited data for when were away for months in the Camper.
Edit to add this link that has all the info (ISP rev)

I think that they had to stop restricting what sims can be used for at the same time they got rid of the tethering cap. they got fined by Ofcom for both of these.
edit. I should really finish reading threads before commenting.
Moved on to this deal myself from my old £18 plan.
Three are making way for 5G, moving all the legacy people who are still on 3G with this plan is a good.
Let's see what restrictions they start enforcing when 5G becomes mainstream.

I didn't realise that 4G mobile has made fast paced online gaming a realistic proposition, this deal sounds better than getting a landline and broadband contract at home!
Still pretty varied - at home I get a pretty solid ping on 4G - around 30ms and it is pretty much like gaming on ADSL w/ interleaving but I don't have to go far and it jumps to 70ms with a little less stability and in some places there are frequent spikes into the 100s of ms or even worse conditions.
