Interestingly the package that used to be called 'Unlimited' , which is now known as 'Talk and Surf Plus', appears to have had its unlimited usage allowance cut to 10GB. In fact there is hardly any difference between 'Talk and Surf' and 'Talk and Surf Plus' except for the free calls period. In addition new connections to BT will also have to pay a one-off setup fee of £50 and the usual 18 month minimum contract term also applies.
