I’m not 5G enabled yet so theoretically 4G+ should be my fastest connection speed. However, on O2 I find that it’s effectively the same as having no connection at all, and often end up shifting down to 3G just to get some connection.

This can’t be right, I feel like I’ve forgotten a setting or something! Has anyone managed to figure it out, or maybe first does anyone else have the same issue?

    I found them to be total rubbish in my area and was tied in for 12 months. But someone else in another area will find them brilliant. The only provider that I found having the best decent consistency was EE. But I refuse to go into a 12month+ contract with these new rip off mid term price increases.

      I was with Three for years. It started off great, but the data throughput got worse and worse, and the prices went up every year.

      I wanted EE without paying for EE, and I’m now with 1p Mobile for about a year and it’s been perfect.

      I’ve read that the only way to get ‘actual’ EE is to sign up for an EE contract then hope that you can beat them down on a retention deal when you’re out of contract.

        I’ve started on EE PAYG at £15 per 30 days(!) (because I didn’t want to hold back with using data when out and about) and 2 months later got a call from them and they offered me a post-paid contract at a great price. I’m now paying £12.70 pcm for the same plus the benefits from being in a contract.
