Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Does anyone else find that 4G+ on O2 is awful? (feddit.uk)

I'm not 5G enabled yet so theoretically 4G+ should be my fastest connection speed. However, on O2 I find that it's effectively the same as having no connection at all, and often end up shifting down to 3G just to get some connection.

This can't be right, I feel like I've forgotten a setting or something! Has anyone managed to figure it out, or maybe first does anyone else have the same issue?

I was with Three for years. It started off great, but the data throughput got worse and worse, and the prices went up every year.

I wanted EE without paying for EE, and I'm now with 1p Mobile for about a year and it's been perfect.

I've read that the only way to get 'actual' EE is to sign up for an EE contract then hope that you can beat them down on a retention deal when you're out of contract.

I’ve started on EE PAYG at £15 per 30 days(!) (because I didn’t want to hold back with using data when out and about) and 2 months later got a call from them and they offered me a post-paid contract at a great price. I’m now paying £12.70 pcm for the same plus the benefits from being in a contract.
