It's irrelevant whether you have 3G or 4G as long as the speed is sufficient. Three has coverage at least as good as any other network & always a minimum of 3G so never drops down to GPRS i.e. unusable speeds.”
Exactly, and I earn a good wage I'm not going to waste my time haggling for £3 off. I'm perfectly happy with what they provide and therefore happy to pay the price, which I think is cheaper than most networks and is a really good fit for my usage.
I need up to 30GB of tethering as I work and stay away from home regularly and take the iPad pro with me which is my source of entertainment when I'm away. I also find no matter where I am 99% of the time I'm able to use Youtube, Twitch etc to stream if I want. I've had a busier than usual week having been in Gloucestershire, Essex, Berkshire and Derby at the weekend and Three works for exactly what I need it for.
I also like to stream Tune-in in the car too, which works amazingly well, it's just like having DAB but better as more choice and better quality, and it's now so good coverage wise that you so rarely see any buffering or audio drop out. I also like the fact I don't have to keep check of data use on the phone on apps etc
It is the ideal package for me and very cheap, you couldn't pay me to go to other networks like Voda / O2 which fall back to 2G more often, or EE with it's caps and having to keep track of data usage, let alone the extra cost.
