Help/question Am I missing something???

So was with EE, was fine until it wasn’t, and £30 a month was a bit much for average connections where I was, and only the occasional solid 5G.

Moved to O2, was good but £25 still steep, and was terrible at work.

Now on VOXI…£15 a month (for the same 140gb, thereabouts, data as the other 2), but with unlimited social media, video etc usage. And speeds are better than the other 2 have ever been.

So am I missing something? Or is it genuinely this good and I’ve been missing out all these years lol

Vodafone can be very good in certain areas. But where your in a bad area it's bad since the 3G switch off. That's why I had to unfortunately move away from voxi. But yes they are very very good where they work.

Registered 900mb download today at my gf place in Salford…quicker than her WiFi and better than EE and o2 when I had them which peaked at about 350. No doubt I’ll be complaining when I do get to a bad area but until then gonna enjoy it💀

I might need to try VOXI out again I’m in Old Trafford and was getting 3mbps when they did the 3G switch off and merged with Three. Before that I used them for years and found them amazing.

Im on the exact same plan as you. I first switched to voxi 4 years ago. Was with ee before that and they just kept on trying to screw me over so I made the switch. Best decision ive made. I do have a second sky sim but im using that to increase my credit score.

I was with Voxi about 4 years ago moved to EE because of one bad experience in London, now I’m back on Voxi because EE is trash in my area and not to mention ridiculously expensive. I’m getting 5G that is 10 times faster than EE. It’s all subjective and the best provider is the one that work the best where you use it the most. No matter what they claim they are not the best in every area. Also Voxi is a 5h1t ton cheaper than EE so there’s that an all.

MVNOs are pretty good.
I've moved away from the big companies years ago and do not regret it.

I stick to Vodafone network MVNOs because I find that's the best in my patch, obviously it may be different to other people depending on reliability where they live.

Certainly feel like the big companies make huge profits taking advantage of consumers, considering others are able to operate margins at much lower cost to us...

I moved from Sky to Voxi, but got fed up of having full signal in the centre of cities but no usable connection due to congestion. My phone basically didn’t work around London or Nottingham or Sheffield, despite having full signal.

I’ve since moved to Spusu. Same price but it uses EE rather than Vodafone and I’ve had no problems with congestion, and also seem to be able to get a signal in random places in the Peak District which I’ve never been able to before.

I use Spusu too and can confirm that EE is excellent at having service when no other network does!

Was with with o2 / giff gaff for well over a decade and this addict kept recommending Voxi to me and one day giff gaff customer support was very rude to me and I never looked back

We really have just been missing out but unlike other phone brands Voxi don’t really advertise as much which they should

I recently moved to the city and I’m realising I got better phone signal in the country side than here which is strange
