I wonder if 3 are connecting to Skype and MSN through a proxy that lets them monitor minutes and messages used :/ Assuming they have no way on earth of telling, I'm assuming it's just scary language to be used against customers who use Skype and MSN relentlessly.

Pretty much what was expected from the first (and only) UK network to restrict internet access

I'll stick with web & walk thanks

Whats with all the slingbox restricitions ? are they supplying them at a subsidised price then ?
I'd rather stick with W&W plus and buy my own slingbox thanks

Restricted internet access?? I've had full open internet access on Three since Jan 06, Three don't have the walled garden anymore!!!

But it was still the first (and only) UK network to restrict Internet access, regardless of the progress that has been made since ;)

It's OK if you want to view Internet pages on a small screen but that's not really very practical.

Better if you can use your handset as a modem like with Web'N'Walk Pro.
