    Virgin/EE or 3? Decisions decisions! :)

    I'm now on Three because I needed the tethering, but I regret the switch now. The signal lacks behind EE's outwith cities and is far inferior on roads/railways.

    I would note though that Virgin media's unlimited data is not unlimited and it's capped at 2mb/s download, which isn't enough to stream HD video from YouTube, for instance.

    I would also check to make sure Virgin's deals are the price listed for the entirety of the contract, I used to have Virgin's fibre broadband and got loads of offers from them, but after 6 months the price usually went up.

    I personally would just stick with T-mobile if you're getting a contract with a phone.

    Good luck to you though! :D

    Thanks. I was told by Vodafone a few years ago that Three are quite poor, in terms of signal and stuff, which is why they offer so much for so little. Whereas Vodafone charge more for less.
