    @catherine_mayer I managed one month with EE (via UW) before leaving. Terrible signal - like it was 2001 again - both in town and the countryside. Went back to O2 via Giffgaff, not probs at all now.

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff I was on O2, and while their coverage is wide, they're over subscribed. The service was nearly impossible to use in crowded public places like rail stations, because of contention. I moved to EE and haven't had any issues, but then with WFH, I don't get around much anymore.

    @WilliamNB We can appreciate how frustrating this must have been for you. We ask for you to complete a SIM swap to ensure there are no SIM issues. Did you manage to SIM swap? - giffgaff Tasbiya

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff I’ve been happy with ID Mobile which uses the Three network.

    @66hayles @giffgaff It will pretty much be a case of going with the least-crap service, and that absolutely rules out Giff Gaff

    @O2 @Joegreaney Hi I'd just like to add that this is a problem for everyone on 02 and giffgaff in that area and it's because a mast in hither green has been down for 2 years and these crooks hate you enough to ignore it.

  • WilliamNB 🚲 Will is too honest to ever be an MP 🇬🇧🇿🇦 (@WilliamNB) reported

    with those, but the way @giffgaff treats people is simply atrocious! Don't EVER lie! Don't EVER blame the customer when it's patently obvious there's an issue with the mast. Don't ever do business with a company who treats you like this!

  • jules_wink Julian from Marple (@jules_wink) reported

    @CarriePurdom @WilliamNB @giffgaff we moved from giffgaff to plusnet. It's based on EE network but it's a more limited service e.g. they dont support text shortcodes, the answering service is not as good etc. V cheap though

  • WilliamNB 🚲 Will is too honest to ever be an MP 🇬🇧🇿🇦 (@WilliamNB) reported

    @JonMathias8 @giffgaff No, I usually don't have an issue with O2's service on Dartmoor, with the understanding that there are parts of Dartmoor when there's no signal from any network

  • JonMathias8 Jon Mathias (@JonMathias8) reported

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff Ah, I haven't tried O2. When I stay in somewhere like Moretonhampstead, everyone always says that EE is the only network that works there. TBF, it's not that important to me when on holiday.

    @huddlestone_v @WilliamNB @giffgaff I am using giffgaff for same reason I personally found EE awful and as much as I am not a huge fan of Vodafone customer service I would say they probably most reliable service and coverage but you do pay a premium for it.
