How much time does 100mb of net time give you for general surfing, email etc on an iphone 4. If this is a tiny amount then how much is a reasonable amount, baring in mind it is not the primary internet tool, merely the tool used while away from the home.

100mb of net time on iphone/ipad?
Very little
The old iPhone iMax plan which provided 500mb for about a monthly rent of $4,500 pesos gave you at best an average of 16-18,000kb's a day of very limited use. Watching YouTube videos would eat up your 100mb so fast you wouldn't know it. A typical video 3 min. song could eat up 4,000kb's.
Fortunately Orange updated this plan for the same amount of monthly rent with unlimited web time. Orange charges $7 pesos per kb., so if you use 100mb without a plan you would be paying about $7,200 pesos.

I've spoken to Aftab and he has put me off the whole idea. I am still going to bring back a couple of ipads and iphones to sell on (so cheap in Europe) but I am not going to bother even going down that route. I'll bash away when in hotspots for now, and by the costs I am hearing about probably for some years yet.
Does anyone actually pay these surfing costs? they are terrible.

Wow, 4500 pesos a month. Does this include phone calls too, or just internet access?
