5mbps on GiffGaff is good, I get on average < 0.5 in the centre on Manchester :o | |

i sit next to my mate at work on giffgaff and when we both use the same speed test my phone consistently gets around quadruple the speeds he does. | |

I've tried Three twice in the last 6 months, it's so bad signal wise I've had to go back to GiffGaff. Annoying as when you do have signal their speeds are actually really good compared to giffgaffs which are terrible. | |

The community forums implies they've implemented some new detection system recently iirc. You get 30min data bans when detected then suspended until your goody bag runs out beyond that, etc. | |

Is that a contract deal? | |

moved to three last month on the 15 quid unlimited data package (which allows tethering), currently getting around 21mbps download and around 4mbps upload, pretty decent really :lol: | |

I'm sure all they do is sniff out the user agent string from a request. I never did any testing to see what was sent, but an iPhone seems to broadcast that it's being used for tethering and you get caught straight away (on Three). I've used my Galaxy S4 for tethering loads and haven't been caught yet. | |

I dunno tbh? Didn't know they did unlimited data dongle deals? Assumed alike GiffGaff any other unlimited deals had restrictions against dongles and 3G tablets. | |

Would it not be better to see if Three are doing any sim only deals and run a dongle for a 4g connection? | |

You would as they would not be able to see what is going down the wire. | |
