Decent SIM-only data plans - recommedations please
Discussion
Hi All,
My OH is finally exiting her rubbish Virgin Media/8Gb iPhone 4 contract.
She now has a Moto X Play with huge amounts of storage which I bought for her and is looking for a SIM-only deal with plenty of data.
The Giff Gaff £20 Gigabag looks interesting - 6Gb of data at 4G then unlimited at 256kb/s. BUT as it's a piggy back carrier I'm not convinced that the data coverage is all that.
Any other suggestions for a similar package?

Three unlimited @ £20... No faff with purchasing goodybags too.

GiffGaff Goodybags can be set up to auto-renew so its no faff at all. http://www.three.co.uk/Store/SIM/Plans_for_phones

Hence looking for something as good value as Giff Gaff but with better data coverage.

Maybe but then it's no different to a contract. I was with GiffGaff for a couple of years. They deffo had more outages than Three have ever had (always an O2 issue apparently) and I think in the end it was the lack of Internet travelling from Berkshire to Lancashire that did it for me (this was around the time they were switching over to 4G so I gave them several months but the situation didn't improve).

I switched from goodybags on giffgaff to sim only contract with Three (18 quid unlimited data) a few months ago, my service has been much better. In central London I always had a good signal with giffgaff, however the data was particularly slow - I now get 4G in most areas and its usable but not lightning quick.

Giff Gaff is easy - my son has it - but they are piggy backing on other networks and I find the data coverage a bit patchy compared to Vodaphone (which I have through my employer) and Virgin Mobile) which my wife has been using.

I found giffgaff coverage and speeds poor. Hence looking for something as good value as Giff Gaff but with better data coverage.
Moved over to 3 which was much better. This will all vary according to locality I suppose. I tested both in the SE, SW and NW of England.
CPW do 500 mins, 5000 sms and 4gb data for £10 a month, as a MNVO on 3

Thanks for all the contributions.
Currently 3 is edging it for me - I have a new Galaxy 6 Edge+ and will do tons of data here (and on hols in France) but not many minutes so they can give me unlimited data + use in France + 200 mins on a 4G network for £20 month.
And Virgin have offered unlimited data + unlimited calls + unlimited texts on a 3G network for the same price, £20/month. Probably suits the OH better.
