O2 launch 4G mobile broadband - Yes, It's still expensive

jabbamk1 · 14-11-2013, 18:33

O2 has revealed pricing on its 4G plans for tablets and laptops, with 3GB of data per month for £15 and 5GB of data for £25pm.

The operator is offering consumers one month free data allowance for those who sign up to the month plan. If they sign up to the 5GB plan before the end of February 2014, they get an extra 3GB per month. O2 is selling bolt-ons of 1GB for £10 if a consumer runs low on data.

No 24m contract deals here. Just your standard buy dongle/tablet/mi-fi and then move onto the one month rolling SIM deals. O2 are selling two dongles. One for £50 and another for £65, both are 4G ready.

https://shop.ee.co.uk/mbb-simo-group/ it looks like EE are cheaper?

I wonder if the usuals will come into the thread to complain about O2's pricing as they did for EE a while ago.

Oh I doubt that very much! It'll be a thoroughly innovative deal from Britains most successful mobile phone company with 900Mhz 3G and fewer Ofcom complaints.

I was going to post about this earlier today but thought it was so awful it wasn't worth mentioning

Best advice is to avoid!

I think we all knew that O2 was never going set a new low price point for data.

I always found it a challenge to use much data on O2 for that reason. That's why moved to Three

They do have the least spectrum per customer by a mile, so they have to control congestion and utilization somehow

Funny, since moving to Three I kept my O2 phone as a secondary and now use up more of my O2 allowance due to 3 being so terribly slow as to be unusable most of the day.
