Advice on a new sim only package

I'm looking for a good package from an O2 alternative.

I'm currently with Giffgaff, been with them since Jan. In that time there have been two occasions where their network would not send text. Not a great start.

The real deal breaker though is the O2 network. I live in the city centre yet at home and at work the max speed I can get via 3G (HSDPA) is 0.33Mb

I'm looking to spend about £10 a month for 60-100mins, 250 txt and a good amount of data.

Which are the best packages?

Thanks

    What is 'good amount of data'?
    Also, you have to decide what network you want first.

    Having said that, you can try t-mobile for free (500MB): T-mobile Cashback loophole. Get £55 and free minutes for nothing.

    hi, have a look at three.
    300 mins, 3000 texts and 1gb of data.
    £10 per month if you commit to 12 months, or £15 if you just do a rolling 30 day deal.

    I've checked orange/t-mobile and get a great signal with them

    I used to be with 3 a few years ago so I know that the signal is good in my area

    I have no knowledge at all about vodafone

    Data varies but I use about 400mb a month on the busiest months.
