I did for one, I didn't even bother to ring them or answer their calls after i'd written to them giving notice, life is too short and i've much better things to do, than plead for better offers and then wait whilst they dip into the lucky dip to see which random offer i'll be given today, if any!.
Getting speeds from '3' of barely 0.3mbps - 0.4mbps was bad enough for £15 a month, but i'm sure as hell not paying £30 for what has become a crappy service especially as Cheshire doesn't seem to feature highly on their 4G roll out priorities either.
I took the option of an EE 25GB MBB sim when it was on offer for £15 a month and chucked it into the Data position on my dual sim phone, i've also recently signed up for a Life Mobile Sim £4.95 / month for 600 mins / 5000 texts which is more than enough for my limited / Emergency use in the sim 2 position. Total, just under £20 / month for 25GB of Data all of which can be tethered. Plus EE has 4G in half of the places I visit as opposed to 3 which doesn't have 4G in any of them!.
Both are on 30 day contacts, so if a better handset sim offer comes along for a similar monthly price as i'm paying now, I can give notice and leave. The EE 16GB / £20 offer came close, but the 9GB extra data per month that i'm getting currently for the same price using the two sim method is of more use to me than unlimited calls and texts.
