I had assumed the "ultimate plan" included unlimited data, but it 
doesn't, it seems the £68 goes to getting "free" amazon prime or 
disney+, O2 actually offer unlimited data for £32/month (with 50% 
discount for 6 months)

My plan includes EU roaming, but not worldwide roaming.

O2 seem to operate a "confusion pricing policy" ...

My list price is £29.82, but due to historic discounts, I only pay £13. 
Because most UK contracts now have a fixed annual increase, it has crept 
up recently.  If O2/Telefonica didn't give me that discount, it'd be 
straightforward to move supplier and pay the same or less.  It's getting 
to the point I ought to move ... pointless churn, and I have to make 
sure I don't lose WiFi calling, or get worse signal at locations I care 
about.
