How much are you allowed to upload on unlimited data?

Handsets, networks, mobile telephony-related items and the conversations you've overheard on the train.

    So unlimited internet is unlimited right, but then there's fair use etc. So I was just wondering is there like a limit to how much you can upload on your phone during a month according to fair use etc?

    Would uploading like 500mb a week be too much? Is it specific to the provider as well? I'm mainly interested in T-Mobile, O2 and Three.

    Thanks in advance.

    I dunno if this will be helpful or not but I'm on t-mobile and they text you when you've gone through 80% of your fair use, and I would say they allow quite a bit of data before they text you, I was watching around 5 45 min shows per day for about a week before they texted me

    Cheers that's quite helpful. I'm assuming they treat upload data the same as download data, so from your information about 225min of video uploaded should be ok against fair use, which is a lot more than what I'll need.
