    @giffgaff hello I joined a few months ago as I was getting slow 4G speeds on my previous network. After joining giffgaff it was loads better and now has slowed right up again. Please can you help? When I run a speed test it seems that the speed is capped at under 5mbps!

    @dxstant If you’re not bothered about getting a new phone then look at Giffgaff and and check the goody bags, I did that and it’s class because now I can choose if/when to upgrade and it’s like £15 a month for the same service I had before instead of £50

  • SusanRead15 Susan Read (@SusanRead15) reported

    @lottyburns @ThreeUK PlusNet works extremely well. Still free roaming. I’m paying just over £8 now for 15Gb data & unlimited minutes & texts. Left GiffGaff as had issues making calls when abroad.

    @Leah_EEE They may not use, but for mobile I moved to a 1 month rolling contract with smarty, giffgaff etc. No drama when it comes to price, just works, parents on it too, can even do it as a group and manage for them. Internet and Phone I have just concluded they are all awful :(
