3, it's been great but I'm off.

BL – If you haven’t already, check if you’re eligible for Go Binge. Netflix is included, so doesn’t come out of your data allowance 🙂

Currently with Tesco, but was considering changing at the end of the 12 month period, as the service in central Manchester is pretty poor. Not enough masts perhaps.

Currently on 3GB data for a £10 a month and I can go to elsewhere for cheaper.

Drez, tesco is O2, surprised that’s lacking in a big city. I get trouble in rural areas like North Cornwall, that’s why I put wireless into the family farm so they could all use WiFi calling.

Nolan, I suspect that like BT / Plusnet Smarty is their vehicle for cheapest deals so people can be sure they’re not getting the extras, like Wi-Fi calling. I see you get tethering though. Might be an alternative to my 3 mobile hot-spot sim.

Thanks mate yes I’ve registered for that already.  I got so used to unlimited data that I had my wifi turned off for years. Now Wifi at home and gym takes care of a lot of data – phone has a monster battery and just leave wifi on – if kicks on anywhere I’ve saved. Downloading in advance has been my main gain though – including Netflix which I do out of habit now. Will see this year out then I can probably drop down to something like Dave’s plan. Necessity is the mother of invention!

I wonder if any other provider would be any better. Before I got her a 3 sim my daughter got very good at finding free WiFi and I suspect people are getting more savvy along with businesses feeling they have to provide it.

Even the British Legion in a back water of Bristol came under such pressure to provide it I got the job to implement it (an old colleague is the office manager). Ubiquiti to the rescue.

Bristol has had an urban 5G trial running for a while now with the University and the major players providing the infrastructure. But it’s for developers of urban solutions only, we’re talking running  a city solutions. But at some stage it’s going to be opened up, should be fabulous.

If trump has his was that 5g trial will be ending soon! Most of his allies are shunning huawei

The only reason we haven followed suit on Thechauwei hate train, is that almost our whole back bone is hauwei hardware, AND they are the only company in The world that can do 5g from top to bottom. (infrastructure, hardware to end user tech) Qualcom can’t compete with Hauwei, and no one will for about 5 years or more, by then they’ll be 5 or more years down the road too. The Americans (and Rest of world) is half a decade behind hauwei on this. 5g is seen to be the future of everything from space, science, etc.. Not just a fast way to watch Netflix.

The chines have a full deck of cards, never mind a full hand. America is trying to cut off there funding. But I can’t see it working as if it is so important, the chines gov, and allie gov, will just fund it. I’m sure they already are.

I signed up for their £5/month deal. Which is the cheapest Smarty can be if you use 0 data.

£5 only gets me 500mb data per month, but I’ve always been a wifi user, going back to when it was so much slower than wifi.

So. I’ll stick to my current plan. Good luck with Smarty! 🙂
