As I’m soon to be on the move from my current address, I’ve decided that I want to get mobile WiFi.
I’ve used Giffgaff and a friend has Tesco mobile – both part of the O2 and are very very slow, even on 3G. I wonder if this is an O2 thing, or whether the company choke off data bandwidth to third party suppliers offering services via their network.
I have T-Mobile for my handset (up to 3G) and this works really well, but coverage on the move isn’t so good.
Vodafone were always the best network for coverage when all I did was make calls, but I’ve no idea about their data bandwidth.
Three were a bit marginal on performance too. When 3G was lost, one ended up on the O2 network.
Does anyone have mobile broadband with a MiFi unit? Who are you with? How would you rate the quality of service? How swiftly do you get through your data allowance?
