None of the main ones. Prices just aren’t great.
Probably Tesco or Giffgaff. Wouldn’t mind some EU roaming included, and Tesco says I can keep roaming for the length of my contract as long as I get a clubcard price deal.
That’s not a bad offer from Tesco if O2 works well where you are.
You can usually grab a great O2 deal by hotdealsuk which include 25gb roaming, and O2 priority and all the 5G malarkey.
O2 and Vodafone are good around where I am. No point going for Three. Completely dead round here. And EE is just too expensive. I’ll definitely have a look at those O2 deals

Changed my plan and the early termination fee has plummeted. Glad Sky mentions doing this one their website or else I just wouldn’t have thought about doing it.
Tesco Mobile has been ordered. Hello EU roaming for the next 2 years

I noticed an oddity with spusu the other day.
I’ve been using Speedtest and AAISP to check speeds for a little while and they have always more or less shown the same speed (around 20-40 down).
I upgraded to unlimited data (from 40GB) yesterday and immunities that my phone felt much more responsive online, so checked the speeds again.
Speedtest now shows 200-400 down, but AAISP still shows 20-40.
That aside, I can’t find anything on the spusu website to suggest that unlimited data increases the speed, but that is what seems to have happened for me.
I’ve also noticed that I’ve used 7.35GB of data roaming in the EU in April, but I haven’t left London. 
Just had a text from EE saying We’ve removed your Travel Data Pass - if you didn’t ask for this, it’s because we’re shaking up our roaming products. Please go to Roaming Refresh for the best way to stay connected on your travels. Thanks.
I didn’t know I had a travel pass.
Which? has come out with their mobile network rankings. Can’t get the full data unless you pay, but these are the overall scores.

I’m with iD and so far can’t fault them. Been running my lebara sim too but the hook to Edge just puts me off.

I have an account so I will take a look and see if anything jumps out.
I can probably guess already why the big networks do poorly. Higher cost and bad customer service. What you get data wise from the big networks vs the rest is crazy.
Higher costs = retail stores, huge distribution warehouses, transport agreements, insurance agreements bla bla and then the reduced staff to offer poor customer service.
MVNOs do not have these things.
Digital servicing is cheap, likely remote.
Sim costs and delivery by Royal Mail is the cheapest option. No insurance required.

I’m surprised to see Sky at the same level as EE.
I’m with EE because around here it’s pretty rural and despite the fact I can see a phone mast on the opposite side of the valley no other network works. But they’re utterly terrible.
Whereas sky have been exceptional. They made an exceptional horses ■■■ of our fibre install and bent over backwards to sort it. The same with mobile. If they had signal I wouldn’t think twice about being with them.
Isn’t having minimal customer service one reason why giffgaff is so cheap? They reduce various elements of their offering to make their data deals much more attractive.

I am currently with Sky, but their standard offers aren’t anything to shout about really. Better than the big networks, but not great. Especially when their offers are mainly for getting a new sim, rather than for current sims (current users can get the offer, but would need a new sim with a new number)

You’d be better off with O2 - more competitive allowances and perks.
Along with Smarty, lebara, Lyca, Spusu, 1p etc.
They don’t have all the overheads the main networks do.

Sky piggyback off O2. So no signal. It’s why sky allowed me to terminate my contract early. No signal in the entire valley since the only O2 mast is literally over the next hill.
I do wish I could stay with Sky, but their standard offerings can just be beaten elsewhere sadly. Nothing at all has been a problem with them. Sadly, will have to leave early as I’ll be abroad when my minimum term ends and don’t want to pay the higher price, even for the month. Although, it does mean I can get EU roaming from elsewhere, so not a bad thing really.
I know, but if you were considering Sky if they did have signal you’d get a much better deal with O2.

It really depends what you’re after. Sky’s SIM only deals appear to be cheaper, but obviously, don’t come with the perks or EU roaming. However, if you don’t care about them, there’s no point going with O2.
