So is it true about cheaper contracts getting a downgraded service?
I think a previous El Reg story about EE had something along these lines in the comments. My £10/month sim-only service just seems to get worse and worse.
Half the time I'm on GPRS or Edge. Even when it is 3G/H/H+ it seems really slow and quite often just fails part way through. I'd switch in a moment if I wasn't getting £5/month off my broadband for being a mobile customer...
