seems like a good deal

#1 Post by fatboy » Wed Aug 27, 2014 6:37 pm

Got a call from EE today, they offered me a Google quad 4 processor tablet on 4G, in built internet with 10gb of data (capped) and reduced my mobile tarriff by about £15 pcm so I will be paying £36.99 as opposed to £50/60 pcm,usual 14 day cancellation ect.
Since Orange became EE I have found 3G to be a bit/lot slower, probably down to the amount of traffic the combined network has to carry.
If I have missed something here feel free to shout out loud...

Dunno anything about the offer, but I too have found my internet slower since Orange became EE - in spite of the fact that they recently contacted me to tell me how much they have speeded it up recently, when in fact I've noticed a worsening of the speed........

I'd change my provider but the only relevant one in this area is BT and my neighbour has had lots of problems with them!

Currently battling with EE after losing our land line & broadband for a week and now constant problems with the net dropping out. Yes, that might well be down to BT but the EE customer service has been garbage and while we started off with our mobiles on a good package with EE I'll be looking around for another provider when renewal time comes.

I will get the tablet on saturday so will see what EE 4G is about, to be honest EE 3G is just too hit and miss,paying for a service you just cant use at times of heavy demand

My phone is on 4G (with giffgaff)

Really rate it (where it is available)

Doesn't cost me any more than 3G did.

Most sims these days are designed to be cut back to give a mini sim. Just got a o2 data sim that is like that

Google is your friend, there are plenty of printable templates to cut the sim down, I've done a few times so far.

A combi-sim is what they should have sent.... a call to customer services and a combi sim is now in the careful,caring hands of Royal Mail, not holding breath.
Just to complicate things further there are now 3 sizes of sim card, standard, micro and nano :smt009
