Many broadband operators, including market leader BT, have removed data caps, and mobile operators have provided data packages for children in households that lack broadband. Three, which is owned by CK Hutchison, said schools could request free, additional data through the Department for Education's Get Help with Technology programme.

BT, for example, said it was giving 20GB of free data a month to disadvantaged families.
