    Hi folks,

    Myself and the Mrs are on Tesco Mobile PAYG. No complaints about value - €20 for unlimited calls, texts and 5G can't be beaten.

    But the data coverage is just so poor on our commute from North County Dublin to Dublin city centre every morning and evening - exactly the time ye want to be using it. Basically Edge if even that.

    Now I know Tesco are just an MNVO on O2. So there is no point trying O2 then cos they will have the same issues.

    So what would you guys recommend I try first: 3 or Meteor?

    Cheers,
    Quad

    O2 is now Three, so you will have no greater coverage.

    Your options are then Meteor or Vodafone.

    Or you could still try 3 seeing as the 3 and O2 networks are still sperate

    From my experience in the Dublin area, I doubt Three would givee better coverage than O2, and anyway O2 now belongs to Three which is is the process of merging both networks.

    If you want to try something different, go for Meteor/eMobile of Vodafone.

    Meteor PAYG €20 per month for unlimited calls, 7.5GB of data(4G) and 400 free texts using the MyMeteor app (including 100 international). You don't need to bother with texts in your plan unless you need more than 400 per month. The MyMeteor app uses your Webtext allocation, and is just as easy to use as regular texting. Excellent 4G coverage around Dublin.
