O2 payg worst than billpay?

The billpay midband has been pretty reasonable but for a separate reason I've had to use the payg for the last couple of days. Despite the fact I'm using it in the exact same way (area, device etc.) the payg seems rubbish compared to the billpay. Is this likely? Do O2 purposely make the payg worst than the billpay? I really dont understand it. It's very frustrating as I need the midband for work (rural area with no other option).
Thanks.
