They know how to make the contract different from the marketing.

Similar story, I bought a vodafone 3G USB dongle with 1GB data that 
"never expires" back when 1GB was a lot, this was for occasional use and 
emergency use, each time the 1GB ran out you could buy another as a 
topup which also didn't expire, worked nicely for my needs.

Eventually they decided people were eeking out the 1GB over too long a 
period for their accountants' liking, so they gave a free final 1GB 
which would expire after 30 (or was it 90?) days, then you could only 
buy expiring data going forwards ...
