Been with three for two years now use around 4/5gb data per month, contract has ended and I was thinking of maybe trying the 02 network, three have offered me 8gb for £6 per month which is a good deal and can get 15gb for £8 on o2. My question is will I notice any difference between three and 02? data is used mainly for streaming music in the car

  • The best way to check is to go to each providers website and do a coverage check for the postcodes you are at most frequently (home, family, work) to make sure you can get a good signal. If so, it's worth considering the additional perks O2 offer such as the priority offers (tickets and dining out offers) as this is extra for no cost. 

    Hope you get sorted

  • Oh, and do you have to stream? I use Deezer which lets you download content and then it doesn't use your data...

    I have got so sick of o2 I’ve paid to come away from them. It was easily the worst signal I’ve ever had and on occasion (many) wasn’t able to send an iMessage. This was in city centres too. Absolutely woeful.

    Are you happy with the service that Three provide you with?

    If so, ain't broke = don't fix!

    Smarty uses Three network (part of same company) and is £8pm for 12GB (or £12pm for 100GB on offer at the moment).

    ID Mobile also use the Three network and offer a range of monthly or 12 month contracts. 

    Take a look at the Uswitch website for some great deals.
