Point being he may have to give up the BB if the new plan is too expensive.
I would like to make sure he knows what to tell the rep.

At present I pay Orange approx. £8 ($16) for 250MB per month of data. However you should take note that I live in London and have NEVER had any EDGE access on Orange. The only Orange access I have ever got in the UK is GPRS which is incredibly slow. I have traveled to a small town in Canada (a town of of about 20000) and gotten faster access (EVDO or greater) than Orange has available in London (a town of 8 million or more!). So I cannot recommend Orange as it seems they do not provide EDGE access.
You might want to try one of the other networks in the UK ( Vodafone, TMobile, etc) to see if they provide true EGDE support. It seems to me that they might provide better service that Orange.
