Probably the best two offers currently available for data (both include unlimited minutes/texts):

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/ee-1...-34-99-2486239

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/voda...-total-2487149

Thine Wonk · 09-08-2016, 08:47

I'm on £23 for unlimited data, 30 GB tethering 200mins and unlimited texts and 5000 3 to 3 mins.

Three is still the most competitive in my view, no other network offers anywhere near this, despite all the dummies flying and tears rolling down the faces of DS members *looks at Jon* LOL

I'm paying £17 for unlimited handset data/30GB tethering, 600 mins and unltd texts. No contract

But if you "don't spend all day running speedtests" as you frequently say, perhaps the EE 16GB deal is workable - and you get a much better network for it

But what price will you get after 12 months?

You'd hopefully look for something better if EE hikes the price - like you're meant to do with most things, from electricity suppliers to insurance. Isn't "sitting on an old plan" exactly the reason why some people are in the situation of looking for a better deal?

Well, I'm "sat" on £18, 600mins+300 3-3mins, unltd texts, unlimited handset + 4GB (I don't use any more than this) tethering. I can't see anything that matches that for less, currently. So yeah, I'll sit tight until I'm booted off or until something notably better comes along.

You really a worky ticket aren't you?

FFS you can't even contribute to a discussion now without some childish remark. Whats frustrating is many would agree Three is STILL competitive and few would disagree with that, yet you undo all that by just being petty

Three still offers a good amount of data for the price, however Vodafone does have an improving network and you get some value added features like Spotify.

I think the best all round value is the Vodafone offer, however for sheer speed and service the 16GB with EE is the best.

Thine Wonk · 09-08-2016, 18:32

It is still the best value in my opinion despite that, it shows how good it was back in the old days before the price rise.

Jon is a journalist I'm sure he's had worse, and it was said tongue in cheek as I put the LOL on there.

sweetstyle · 10-08-2016, 00:06

Is the EE 16GB unlimited minutes the best high data deal EE have offered. Is the EE network one of the fastest with widespread coverage?

EE inc Free BT Sports on your phone

25GB data

I moved from Three to EE of my own accord. Ive been very impressed with EE's 4G coverage in South West Scotland. The 4G coverage is much better than Three. I've only seen it go to Edge / GPRS once in the 2 weeks I've been on it and that was only for a few seconds as I was in a deep valley. O2 and Vodafone on the other hand have extensive 2G coverage outside major towns and cities im afraid. I've seen some recent improvement in Vodafone's 4G coverage but O2 improvements around here have ground to a halt. Neither of them are remotely near EE and even Three is still better than them although 4G upgrades have been slow and even those to laggards show signs of catching up with regards 4G. Indoor coverage is better too on EE. Haven't run any speed tests but EE is consistently the top of official speed tests.

Is it for new customers? If I do an incognito window it's not there, if I use Chrome and it recognises me as an existing customer, it is. It's also called EE 12M Loyalty Extra SIM £24.99

I cleared my cache and cookies and iam not logged into my account so i can only assume that its for new customers best bet would be to call them all they can do is say no.

I'm not logged in either, but if I choose it, it says confirm your upgrade, so it knows I'm an EE customer.

In IE or Opera, where I've never logged into EE, it's not there either.
