    @WilliamNB @giffgaff @O2 Have you asked for a different SIM? Otherwise I'd be tempted to switch as there is so much more competition now. I don't like poor service.

  • gazza_d Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff If it works elsewhere and other networks work then yes switch to one that works. But maybe don't pick another provider that uses O2 network.

    @gazza_d @KarlOnSea @girodilento I did hear that you are further down the priority list for bandwidth congestion with giffgaff than O2. (Also in a macho - mine is bigger than yours kind of way, I have more data than you are allowed buy, 40GB. Travelling a lot these days)

    Why are mobile phone companies such a PITA? I thought @giffgaff were the exception but I've just spent several hours I'll never see again trying to set up my partner's own phone with them after we'd already put her younger child on it. >>

  • Adam_Hosker Hosker 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧 (@Adam_Hosker) reported

    Virgin Media @vmbusinesshelp down so the office running off a single @GiffGaff 4G Modem. Well, at least I know the backup is working. Everything sooooo slow.... I should probably get a 5G Modem?

  • ahabboush Ayad Habboush (@ahabboush) reported

    @giffgaff What is the use of it if it is going to take up to 5 working days. This is unacceptable and it is a bad service

  • StephenJ0hnson Stephen Johnson (@StephenJ0hnson) reported

    @biglesp @giffgaff I've been on @giffgaff since the start, I can never understand why anyone would choose anything else. Even my electronic projects have their own SIM.
