Slow internet
I was with virgin then they merge or switch me to O2 and both these was kind of slow, lots of buffering watching videos.
now I’ve tried this smarty out to see what this is like, I no they use three but this is the same to much buffering.
at my house I’m getting max of 10mbps but just 2 mins drive down the road I’m getting over 100mbps it’s just I need better service at my house, wifi is also a bit crap (sky) and always used mobile date.
my post code is S667HA and now thinking of trying EE

I have a Netgear nighthawk router. With Smarty sim I get a measly 5 mbps download speeds!! Just got an EE mobile router via BT and I get anything up to 70mbps!!!! Anyone know why this should be?
tonychi_2539068 I have replied on your other post.
I've just checked the 3UK site for your postcode, and all seems to be ok, with 4G coverage being good. This type of data may not be totally up to date.
What would be better would be using the "Mast data" app, which will provide you up-to-date signal strength at the time of use (for your SIM). It would also give you data for other networks in your area and where the signal is strong or not.
It is always worth checking not only network coverage, but also the signal strength before making the leap to a different network. It usually saves a lot of hassle, expense and disappointment.
Thanks but not even going to bother, I’ve just written a nice long message for it to come up with a box asking me to complete a survey and lost My message 🤦🏻♂️ I’m getting 0.38 Mbps and 0.05 Mbps
Thanks for giving up on yourself.
I've taken the time to give good advice, it's no skin off my nose if you don't want to do things for yourself.
Good luck.
