Download Speed...Mbs
As JJP2 and others on the forum have mentioned in various posts - it it always advisable to do a test run of the host network using a PAYG SIM card in order to check the coverage level and suitability. This goes for *any* time you move to a new network; that way you'll know what the service will be like in the areas that you visit and stay when you commit to a 30 day plan for real.
Having said that, if you haven't contacted the webchat to look into this, you may want to check your coverage/ network status by entering your postcode into the Three checker here. This won't indicate speeds but should be able to tell if there are maybe any issues impacting the signal/service in your area.
Moreover, 30 day plans are flexible so it's easy to port out and move onto another network if its not working out for you.
P.S I recorded a download speed of 290Mbps yesterday evening on the way to my local McDonald's
This is the Smarty community forum, populated by Smarty customers, so, if you are trying to vent, you are venting at the wrong people.
Your post clearly says you switched to Smarty on price, but did you bother to check the Smarty coverage where you live, work and socialise, or just “buy blind” ?
For me, and others, Smarty offers brilliantly fast speeds.
In your case, the good thing is, Smarty doesn’t tie you into a long term contract, so you can quickly move on.
My speeds by the way, tested just now :
