    Feedback on as how are you getting on with them please? :beer:

    (copy/paste summary from other thread)

    TPO's are idiots, regarding allowances- own data allowances are not permitted to tether, thus mean ban or whatever else...
    (same goes about iD Mobile)

    Alternatives:
    EE still does £10 PCM 100GB allowance until Christmas( http://shop.ee.co.uk/campaigns/christmas-sim-from-ee? )

    Last time I spoke to lifemobile.co.uk their £15 (with 6GB data) allowed tethering

    tello.co.uk are very reasonable for a light user cost ways (uses "3" network)

    ukglobetel.com (uses EE)is best value plan for £15PCM you get everything unlimited(7GB data), but as it comes to tethering- unsure to be honest, as they said on iPhone its OK, but not on other devices... also, untested, cant vouch for CS

    I do not recommend neither Vectone or Delight due to atrocious record in business practices and tested- CS,

    nor GiffGaff (uses O2) data speeds are diabolically slow on 3G



    I dont know yet, the EE 100GB promo has threw me from the Voda
    50GB promo to them lol


    I have the sims and when I need the 7GB I will activate.
    SO... now England its the Scots turn to say dont leave the UK, stay in Europe with us in the UK, dont let the tories fool you like they did us with empty lies... You will be leaving the UK aswell as Europe ;)

    BT will not open 4G up because the EE speeds are unmatched thus BT Mobile is already a monopoly and I bet BT landlines will allow inclusive calls to BT Mobiles whilst they will be last to offer inclusive to all networks, they have a monopoly on landlines and calling other networks will rake them in a fortune until they are the last man standing.


    Virgin Business customers got 4G, but not Virgin consumers, it will no doubt remain such.



    BT will also do a Vodafone, buy its MVNO's up and not renew contracts, its expensive running a physical network with your own MVNO's taking a cut of profits you could have by no providing wholesale.



    I dont see EE with BT as progress nor competitive.

    I didnt, EE or BT wont give 4G access to anyone bar Virgin Media Business customers...(Virgin Media Business supply backhaul connection to 3 and EE backhaul MBNL so one could assume Virgin got 4G exclusive access for a smaller amount of Business customers than the whole Virgin mobile consumer market on them business contract terms) so I expect that closed access 4G is why TPO is jumping to 3 to allow 4G access.

    Any MVNO cant claim anti competitive behaviour against EE as well Virgin have access, thus its a business decision not letting open MVNO aceess not a monopoly as far as Ofcom would consider, although it could be anti competitive via Office of Fair Trading that was closed 2014 and now Ofcom has final say.

    People want 4G, TPO want to up their subscriber numbers...bye EE hello 3 ;)
