I'm using an Iphone 5C so I only get 3g but its really good.

 

I can watch videos on youtube fine and my Internet searches are very fast, all in all I'm a happy bunny.

Using 4g it's option 3.
OK for occasional use or low-data-capacity activities.

It's got to the stage I only purchase a £5 goodybag and always connect using an external mifi using an EE or Three data sim for better connection and speed.

Hi folks, we're not getting any responses to the survey at the moment, so this might be the last update, unless we get a surge of further responses later...

 

Massive thanks to everyone who has responded. There have been 28 responses so far which I've collated and listed below...

 

 

Survey - How good is your giffgaff data streaming quality?
 

My data streaming quality is:

 

2/28 (7%)  1. Great. 

3/28 (11%)  2. Good. 

6/28 (21%)  3. OK for occasional use or low-data-capacity activities. 

1/28 (4%) 4. Bad.

14/28 (50%)  5. Unusable for regular use / non-existent / abysmal. 

0/28 (0%)  6. Intermittent - mixed - e.g. depends on location and weather etc.

1/28 (4%)  7. Intermittent - usually useable, but not always adequate.

1/28 (4%)  8. Intermittent - usually not adequate, but sometimes OK.

This might interest folk following this thread...

@ vespaash2 (giffgaff staff member) posted the following on the thread about the new £10 goodybag: "We agree it's time for an update on data experience. You can expect a post on this in the next few weeks."

2 on 4G
5/6 on 3G - it's not really useable but does seem to depend on location etc.
I probably get 50/50 4G and 3G
Not sure that it's any better on other networks- I always hear other people complaining too.
