Oh, it looks like if push comes to shove i'll have to change to the 12 month equivalent at £17.

Has anyone considered moving to the new ID network when they get chucked off the one plan?

The £20 unlimited deal looks ok.

I think I would rather pay £20 for EE 4g, (with 2000 minutes) than £17 for three 4G (with only 200 minutes).

It's also only a 1 month rolling contract - so might be worth a try?

EDIT: Sorry, I got it wrong. It seems iD uses three, not EE!

Watch out for the curse of introductory offers and other things you might not get too, feels like home, wifi calling app, a tethering allowance etc.

Yeah. It does say that it's an introductory offer. I assumed that meant if you signed up in the introductory period it would stay at £20... although it could also mean that it's £20 for the first few months and then they start charging you more.

It doesn't say it would go up, so I guess the offer stands only as long as you keep paying (it's a 30 day contract after all). A good way to entice people to stay, even with the flexibility of a 30 day contract.

I do the same with EE. With the 40% Friends & Family discount, even though I'm on a 30 day contract I've kept it going since 2013.

I'm considering it, but for the Data only MBB - £20 for 20GB is pretty generous, in fact I think that currently is the best deal available from any network for a MBB sim.

I'm currently on EE's rolling 30 day MBB Tariff which costs the same, but only gives 15gb of data, and whilst I only use around 10gb - 12gb at the most, its a no brainer to get the extra 5gb per month overhead for the same price.

I'm just waiting for '3' to bring 4G to the area before I move to ID, (assuming they ever do), as 4G is something which I get currently from the EE sim.

Does anyone know if iD has any different priority than Three? I've noticed that some MVNOs seem to be a bit slower than the parent MNO.

Has anyone got this contract and can you tell me if they are actively blocking tethering and you have to bypass it or not? Not a problem for either answer.... Just curious to know

Why should someone tell you whether you need to actively circumvent intended restrictions? It's people like this using large amounts of traffic on 3rd party devices whilst conning the network that it's from a phone that will accelerate the end of unlimited data for us all

Sadly you're wasting your breath, this user used to tether hundreds of gigs on Three and used to sell sims that worked in routers for others to do the same. He won't care about sticking to the contract or terms. A small number with use 100s of gigs a month and will cause the networks to put in more blocking measures or end tarriffs for others.

I'd be happy with a 50gb month FUP, if you exceed it multiple months they can limit speeds on your account or remove you, the people that take the mick out of unlimited plans are only using what the network advertises, put a 50gb FUP a month and hopefulky speeds increase for everyone:

Was just about to post pretty much the same thing, he dont believe that 1 user can make that much of a difference and that because three offered unlimited tethering subject to 1TB usage that he should be aloud to do that every month. He also thinks that because he lives in hull and KC are expensive/limited compared to most of the uk that it means its threes job to do the infill.

If there is a 50gb month FUP they may as well call it a 50gb plan.

Otherwise, it's misleading to call a plan unlimited then have a 50gb FUP.

I'd be happy with that too ha

Ash the irony, large parts of Three's network have been hopelessly congested on my recent visits to Hull. It's the combination of KC prices and limited backhaul (until cityfibre is operational), which seems to have created the perfect storm.

Hull has recently been found to have the worst mobile data speeds in the UK. Big surprise!

I don't really understand why hull has been allowed to fall into this mess, has it always been crap or is this a recent thing?

Its proof that the BT haters won't like to hear that BT have done a good job in driving forward change, which hasn't happened with smaller providers.

Look at KC prices for BB - they are shocking for what you get.

Totally agree. I used to be a KC customer when I had a business based in Hull. They were shocking for broadband, and unbearable for service. Hull's council and residents used to be proud of KC in pre-internet days, but now people need speed and data for their daily lives and they have been held back by KC. KC are slowly rolling out FTTP, but their prices have always been much higher than in BT areas. There is no competition because it's too expensive for LLU operators to put their kit into KC's exchanges.

Thankfully, I'm now back to a BT area, and my life has improved drastically

I thought this was a thread about Three, rather than the virtues of Hull's broadband infrastructure as riveting as it is for people that don't live in Hull?

Wait! There are intriguing parallels.

Back in mists of history Demon offered dial-up Internet access for £10/month & had problems with KC customers. Unlike BT but like operators in the US the KC telephone subscribers had unlimited free local telephone calls which meant that Demon subscribers in Hull could dial up & be connected 24x7 thus knocking the arse out of it for other Demon users. Rather like the 'abusers' of unlimited tethering knocking the arse out of it for other Three users.

I actually remember the fuss over that, long before we actually got 'free' access to the Internet on dial up, and the inevitable busy lines at some times of the day.

Once cityfibre finish the backhaul it's going to be okay, and of course i'm still on the one plan so why not take advantage of it while it's still here anyways, and if i'm getting a perfect 25-30meg on H+ in certain areas it can't be that congested... Or users won't be hammering it or Traffic Sense would of throttled it.

Speaking of cityfibre..... Since they're laying all the cables down does anyone think there will be another broadband provider within the Kingston-Upon-Hull area?

They could use the cabling to dish out broadband for the area?... I believe a wireless provider has already got a deal with the cityfibre rollout actually.

Tell that to Giffgaff.

Use 11GB on the unlimited goodybags and they won't let you buy another goodybag.

As they stop you from using the service after your goodybag expires they're aloud to get away with it.... As there essentially denying you service.
