It's an app that does data speeds and coverage.
They are associated with taking money off EE to promote their network.
LOL, you do realise that Rootmetrics GIF is a joke?

I've been on EE for just over a week and I have to say so far I'm impressed. With speeds 6 times faster than my home broadband, 4g signal almost everywhere I go, no throttling as far as I'm aware at peak times its a real godsend compared to Three, which was and still is throttled after 3pm, and the fastest speeds I used to get at peak times was a measly 0.5mbps so forget streaming anything at that time.

The biggest downside with both EE and Three is that they're a bit slow inside buildings but I can live with that as ee reception seems to be better anyway.
Also despite not using any more than 2gb on Three I find I'm being a lot more careful with my data allowance on EE, but I guess limited data helps keep the network less congested.

Overall happy with EE but I do sort of miss the unlimited data.

OH not happy with EE actually. Terrible/zero call reception in the city of London area as well as others. Inferior reception to my (Tesco) at home. 3G variable. OH went abroad for work and there was no connection to network, despite EE claiming roaming is automatically approved with any new SIM only 12 month contract. Instead (2nd trip abroad for work) EE insisted on the need to buy an add-on for £6 (which did work - non EU trip).
OH has to go into an EE shop for every problem. Their phone support is awful. Their SIM only monthly tariffs are more expensive and basically the experience has been worse than Tesco!
Neither of us will ever sign a 12 month deal again. OH is busy so just signed it as had heard they were the best network.

As a general rileod thumb test out the reception using payg sim before committing to a contract

Three never contacted me to cancel my One Plan (probably leaving me until last since i only used a couple hundred meg, 1 or 2 texts and zero minutes/month), so i phoned up and cancelled myself.

Now happily using my old SIM Zero plan with Internet add-on at £5.11/month. I configured Android's built-in SIP client to use my Localphone account so any calls i need to make will go over the data connection and cost far less than Three's rates.

I was walking past an EE shop yesterday and they had the £15.99 p/m sim only with 2Gb (not 1gb) data as a 'managers special'.

Sometimes they even reduce it down to £12.99 p/m.

I've been looking at getting an EE sim-only from mobilephonesdirect. There's some very good prices there at the moment, especially for the 4GB and 6GB sims.

I know my contract will be with EE but would I still get all the same benefits buying via mobilephonesdirect as if I bought direct from EE? eg. Double speed, tethering, visual voicemail, wifi calling etc. Any other disadvantages?

Thanks

EE are offering Unlimited / Unlimited and 10GB of Data for £22.99 per month to existing customers. No Cashback though

http://shop.ee.co.uk/my-offers/sim-only

I wonder if having a registered 100GB x 2 sim qualifies for this deal, or whether you need to have a contract. (Edit:- Answered my own question - it says pay monthly at the top of the page - DAMN)

I'm not with EE at the moment.

mobilephonesdirect are offering the EE 4GB 12 month sim-only plan for the equivalent of £7.99/month (after cash back). The 6GB plan works out at £8.99/month. Both with unlimited calls/texts.
