GPRS?

Capped bandwidth like the Tiscali / BT etc con trick?


No, the "faster" of the commonly available ways of getting data down a
mobile phone connection...

(Standard GSM can do circuit switched dial-up at 9600bps - paid for at
standard per min call costs, the networks however also support 56kbps
GRPS "always on" packet switched data - paid for on a per kB basis. You
can get GPRS data cards for your computer that do not need a separate
phone to operate - but £40/month is not uncommon for tarrifs that let
you shift 100MB / month)
