I can answer this, as I have been using giffgaff since about june or july of last year.

from my experience they've been really good. I've saved a lot of money compared to my old O2 contract. plus earned money back from helping people on their forums.
there have been one or two times where the network has gone down for half an hour to an hour, in my time of being with them. no big deal tho... happenes with all networks.

customer service is good. you can either ask a question in their forums, and people will fall over themselves to answer it for you.
if it is something account specific - you can contact a member of staff - they usually reply well within 24 hours.
there MAY be an 18+ content lock. you can contact an agent and they will either remove it for you - or I think you can go down the route of taking ID into an O2 shop. but you would have to check about that.

very easy. the hardest bit is getting the PAC code from your old network.
you simply fill in an online form, with your PAC code and phone number... they then email you to tell you what day it's going to happened...... you shouldn't be without service for long.

be prepared for people to come on here and start telling you that giffgaf is some sort of pyramid scheme or a scam.... it honestly isn't.
remember you need your phone to be either on O2, or unlocked to any network for the sim card to be accepted.
if you are going to join.. get someone on the forum to send you a £5 referral sim. (ie, when you top-up with £10 - you get an extra £5 free.
they will be falling over themselves to do this - because they get £5 free too.
the goodybags are really good value.
250 mins, unlimited texts and unlimted internet is £10 a month. (and there are no fair usage caps for internet or texts - which is pretty unique to any network)
I suggest going onto their website if you're not sure, have a look around, register, ask a few questions if you want to find out more..... even order a sim card....
you're not committed to joining until you make your first £10 topup.
