I need to know what I should do with my SIM contract!

My SIM-only phone contract has just run out, and because of that I'm currently paying £23/month for unlimited data (and calls and texts, but I don't use many of those).

Last month I used just under 11GB of data on my phone.

My options are:
£12 for 12GB
£14 for 30GB
£16 for 100GB
£18 for Unlimited

12GB is cutting it too close, so the other three are my real options.

£14 for 30GB/month seems pretty good.

Is it worth me spending the extra £4/month for unlimited data?

Is it worth me worrying about £4/month when I'll never notice the difference in my bank account?

(This is all through Three. So far as I can tell pretty-much everyone has the same mediocre signal quality near us because we're in a dip next to a hill. I am, however, prepared to listen to suggestions about other providers/approaches.)
