    @brendonvbone I was with giffgaff (o2) and its bollocks. Now with Vodafone. I get decent signal apart from half time. At half time I can get some internet but it's very slow. That's unavoidable with 18k people all using their phones though.

    @notmany4benny @carterBFC @SamsungUK One of the disadvantages of living in rural locations. At least you must have beautiful views instead. I had problems with Three and I live 200m from a transmitter where I get flaky voice calls. Apparently I need a Three supplied phone to get VOLTE. Currently on O2/Giffgaff.

    Currently a free agent in search of a new club... Done with Vodafone after 12 years of service agreement 🤝 they won't offer me a new handset. Started with One2one in 2005 and thinking of going back to EE now. Giffgaff - tried them years ago, not bad... O2, never a fan of this company, they're too strict... Lycamobile, I like them and still do but I want big name... same goes for Lebara. My proposal: 💣 Unlimited UK mins & Texts I don't care about this, I'm more concerned about data... 💣 150GB to Unlimited Data £20/ month max... I need this ASAP...

    @giffgaff Yes, they reply once I have chased them and simply say we don’t have an update so it’s now been 20 calendar days with a partially working sim plan - sorry but it’s not good enough - I don’t want a response - I want a solution!!

    @virginmedia @giffgaff @Telefonica Virgin Media are 💯 with prompt online support. Always have been. I'm not sure any of the others will reply, at all...

    @EE @bazsharp I went to giffgaff because of EE's terrible Indian customer service. Constantly ****** everything up.

    @virginmedia @giffgaff @Telefonica gifgaff, who are part of O2, who now work with Virgin Media. All part of Telefonica (and Liberty Global). A FOI request detailing how network coverage map data is recorded, updated, and published would be interesting to see. It seems to be very different from reality.

    .@giffgaff have generally been good (10 years+ a subscriber). For the past few days, I have been unable to send texts from my UK number. I had to go onto a forum to diagnose what I thought was a device problem. Reset my network settings (no help). And then back to the forum to find a coverage map. Ideally, giffgaff would send alerts to impacted areas so we are aware with this information. And, with connectivity being fundamental to everything we do in the digital world, communication should be treated as high priority as a burst water pipe or gas leak. This is why community-owned networks are so crucial. There is an extra level of care and concern when the issue directly impacts you.

    @giffgaff voicemail doesn't work in the u.s.a. They lie and tell you it does, but it doesn’t. Switch it off before you travel.

    @virginmedia Another Virgin Media engineer came out again to bury the cable from house to street. The cable is now in trunking over ground and the internet service was severed. You have said it will take yet another on-site engineer to fix the connection and left me without a connection for the week - until an engineer is available. You have, however, paid £100 towards the cost of the alternative internet provider. Your logic was £30 for data (on a #GiffGaff SIM card which I chose) and £70 for a dongle. I bought a £120 4G modem for external use that connects directly to my #Unifi switch on WAN2, bypassing your hub altogether and giving a connection back to my whole house rather than just one computer with a USB port. Given it's taken since November to bury this cable, I'm not convinced tomorrow's engineer will be able to fix the connection or bury the cable. We will see how the day unfolds. Your contact centre staff all aim to be very helpful, and your service (when it's working) does provide a decent connection most of the time, but your implementation is lacking.
