Although it can be cheap to start with, Tesco do always look for the
opportunity to increase their revenue by re-packaging and re-marketing
something without actually changing the service other than increasing
their prices. They achieve this by abolishing the previous packages and
substituting their "new and improved" offerings. As you noted, if they
keep the old packages (presumably only because of some sort of
regulatory or contractual requirement) they will rename them and bury
them so deep that only the most persistent of searches can find them.


To be fair, their new package was ok for moderate level users - the
double credit in effect made their data charge half the price. But for
low users its not as good.

Perhaps I should also check out the IKEA offering.


Only down side for some may be that they are a MVNO running on top of
the TMobile/Orange network.

one of the shops as well!)
