I am currently with EE.

Experience in speed vary between companies?

I'm with Lebara (uses Vodafone signal) and I don't normally use the unlimited data pack, but it costs £25 for a month. Other networks might provide a similar or better deal depending on your requirements. In my experience network speed doesn't usually change much between networks, unless there's a significant change in coverage at your location (eg. lack of 5G on one network). Easiest way to check this is to look at network coverage maps, or even better order free SIM cards and test it yourself on the ground.

Equivalent £12/month full-fat Vodafone after cashback by redemption deal at Affordable Mobiles. 12 month deal.

Seen 5g speeds over 300Mbps but I have got a mast the size of a Saturn V at the end of the street.

Alas over the last 3-4 months redemption deals have got much less attractive - looking at £16 now.  They do have unlimited max with entertainment for £20.50 - if you pay for Prime at £7.99, that drops the cost nicely.  The 2 year ones (without/with entertainment) were £12.50 & £16.50 a few months ago, now £17.75 & £22.75.  Equally 18m 100GB was £7, now £9.33.

I would not recommend the coverage maps (they are woefully inaccurate sometimes) & free (pay and go) SIMs are of limited value too (often they do not get the same priority or access to both 5G & 4G bands, which can see them work quicker if the band, e.g. 20, they cannot access is saturated).

My biggest tip is that if you value your sanity and being contactable reliably, do not put your main number on a three based solution (Three/Smarty/Superdrug/ID/etc.) - if you do not have any desire to be contactable reliably (or if using in a modem), then consider a one month rolling option such as Smarty, which was recently available via TCB (Topcashback.co.uk) for £16/mth for the first year with £20 odd cashback.  This means that if you start to suffer 'full signal terrible data speeds' which are unfortunately common, you have the sanity preserving lifeline of being able to walk.

If you know anyone on Lebara, if they refer you, you can have 3 months for £12.50/mth to try out them & the Vodafone signal with no commitment (they also get a generous £40)!

Good luck OP & do report back anything you find!

My teenage daughter in on the unlimited everything for £16 a month.  ( smarty )
and to be honest I’m very impressed with the service received.

ok, I’m just outside the london M25 and signal is good….many a evening she has been on group video chat with her friends and the signal has been Great with no buffering

Great news - is that 4G or 5G?  The issue is that the number of folk who say that & with 2 years return to say it did not last are growing.  Long may it work for you & heck if it doesn't you only risk losing a proportion of £16 to move immediately.

Don't forget to look out for a fresh offer - apparently they can move you to it to reset the 12m clock!

Well it’s only a 30 day contract….so if they try any of those extra tricks I’ll be off like a shot
