Something for nothing is always welcome, so cue Metronet's decision to tripple the included data allowance on their PayGoExtra service.

Metronet operate off a typically low headline monthly subscription rate, throw in a bundle of inclusive data allowance, charge if you exceed this, but cap the amount that you'll pay them in any given month. The result is that for many users, they're keeping their bills as low as possible.

With the new allowances, both new and existing subscribers to either PAYGoExtra500, 1000 or 2000 will be able to download three times as much, and we suspect that for the majority of its customers, will not be paying any more than the advertised minimum monthly price.
