Best prepay 3g data quality and speed... what network should I go for ?

_Whimsical_ · 2013-07-11 22:41:47

So as the title says, where is best for data ? I would like to be able to watch streaming videos when I'm not on wifi. Is there any prepay network I could rely on for this ?

I've tried the 4 major networks. Here is my experience ( I live just outside the M50 Dublin).

In order of best to worst.

1.Meteor
2.O2
3.Vodafone
4. Three

It really all depends which are masts are closer to you more often, as where you spend most of your time.

If you use alot of data then Three is by far the best as there is no limits on how much you can use unlike others who will limit you and charge for going over that limit.

Probably best to test out the Three network though like all networks there can be dead spots where it won't work at all.
