Just switched from three myself to Vodafone - was sick of the customer service and poor service so beware mate - they can be worst in terms of customer support and service. Im on bill pay myself though and have a 5 gig addon on top of my 8gb data included with my business plan - not a great amount of data on 4g either

Vodafone customer support were pretty poor the people I have talked to anyway but they seemed to have sorted out the problem with my 4G modem eventually . Only reason I'm back to 3 is for the unlimited data on 3pay only for that wouldn't go near em been with em for years and the data speeds are quite slow but I have noticed since I switched back the data speeds have been 5Mb/s + usually I only got between 0-3 at best during the day.

Vodafones network Is really good cant say anything bad about them but the data limits kill me 1GB isn't enough at all I ended up putting over 50€ into my phone when I was with Vodafone because of data limits, they did have 3G dual carrier In my area tho and I used to get between 12-20Mb/s on 3G which was impressive.

Little slower than normal I was getting over 48 Mb/s earlier but I was close to the mast at the time still much better than 3G. The upload is faster than my DSL download which maxes out at around 14.5 Mb/s

That's really good for Tesco when i was with them their speeds were slow at the time around 1Mb/s if i was lucky i think i read on boards that they updated their service to support higher speeds:D

The other networks need to up the data even if it's just the 4g BB plans

Everyone is going at 3 since their data allowance is actually reasonable to the pathetic data limits the other lads with actual customer service offer


Good customer service with crap data limits

or

Bad customer service with decent data limits!

If you can make 3 work for you it's not so bad but it's a bloody hard job to get it consistent and reliable!

True 3 are terrible the data speeds are horrible as a result of the unlimited data theres no way to stop people using the all you can eat data on a laptop or other devices some people even use it instead of paying for 3broadband or DSL .

i have to get away from 3 switched back to them from Vodafone few weeks ago regret it so badly now i remember why i left them 0.20mb/s download speeds most the time , headed back to Vodafone even tho the data limit is crappy i dont use mobile internet much im always on wifi i also have one of the Vodafone 4G wifi modems with 20GB on that .

Going back to Vodafone for better coverage too and for 4G on my phone missing that alot ! their 3G is miles faster than 3 some nights on 3G i can hit over 20Mb/s which is faster than my DSL sometimes the 4G hits 50Mb/s altough its capped on the phone itself at 1GB i mostly only use my phone for iMessage to my girlfriend in the USA so it's not a big deal on 3 it's impossible to even send one sometimes and when you drop to E or GPRS nothing works at all least with Vodafone it does.

Sim card ordered should be back with them by wednesday hopefully:p
