3 speeds - Billpay vs PAYG

    Was happily using the 3 AYCE PAYG offer via a PAYG sim up to a fee days ago.

    Since then, although the signal doesn't seem to be any worse, the speeds have fallen through the floor at peak times.

    It's still fast enough in the morning (6Mb down) so I know it's not my dongle/router etc..
    In the evenings it's gone from 2/3 Mb to 200 Kb

    My question is this - do you think there'd be a better result from signing up to Billpay? Less contention/preferred access to bandwidth or whatever?

    There are some reports that getting a new SIM (and number) will increase your speed but I don't think it makes any difference.

    I'm in an area with no other connection other than three and there are about half a dozen of us that use three in the same area. Some are billpay some prepay and when one goes slow we all go slow (3G only no 4G here).

    Thanks very much my3cents - that's exactly what I was looking for. Will try a new SIM.
