Mobile Networks

Ultimately depends which way the panels are facing to which signal you latch on to.

10mbps is woeful in 2026. EE still push this on their no frills options, but it’s way too slow really.

40-50mbps I think is the minimum standard really.

To communicate, 10mbps is sufficient for all of that.

For TikTok scrolling and 4k YouTube’s you might want faster, but browsing, WhatsApp, sending/uploading images etc it’s plentiful.

If my O2 sim can get my by on <1mbps for most things I use it for :man_shrugging:t3:

People generally don’t understand the internet, that’s why they’re duped into unlimited data bundles and 1gb data speeds at home when they rarely ever need it.

Yup, should be good to go.

That’s who I use.

VOXI is amazing if you listen to a lot of music and watch a lot of stuff on the go!

I tested my EE at home (usually on WiFi) and the speeds are pretty good. More than I’d ever need:

EE has really gone downhill as of late

Not here it hasn’t. Hovers around 200 Mbps.

If this thread has any kind of outcome it is that no network is great or terrible and everyone has different experiences. It’s a constant back and forth.

Was ordering a new 12 month contract this afternoon and was about to confirm the order when I saw that the price goes up from 1 April.

I think the annual increases are bad enough, but having them kick in after barely a month is taking the biscuit.

Ended up getting a 1 month SIM instead.

Towards end if Feb or beginning of March the increase won’t be there. You made the right choice.

Looks like the Monzo mobile network isn’t that far away

I do wonder if Monzo will dump this additional mobile network knowledge on their current cops base and cause even more frustration for users that require help.

Thou who shall not be named, I’m not sure what their setup is. The chat bot seems to answer every query I’ve had for it, about anything within the app.

Not had any issues with the mobile service, but I don’t use it much so I’ve not found anything worth querying.

At a guess, Monzo will throw it at the paid/savings cops as it’ll fall within that remit.

I wonder which network the “Monzo Mobile” MVNO will run off.

Three? O2?

Probably voda3.

They should try going for a different mno to have something unique, most mvnos end up on Vodafone or 3, they could maybe be a good place to negotiate with the big market share changes after the merge.
