Is giffgaff’s service/coverage shit? They rate well on “Which?” but I’m regularly getting 4g signal (2/3 bars) but no actual connection. It seems like the phone coverage is also poor.
My speculation is that because it’s cheap their requests are low priority on the masts or whatever. But I don’t actually know how any of it works.
So I’m wondering if other people have any experience of giffgaff vs other networks. Is it worth paying a bit more for service from another provider?
The other thing I notice is that it’s shit when there’s lots of people around. I’m working in a shopping centre. It’s shit service all day, but now at 630pm once everyone has left the area it’s good again. Will this be the same for all networks?
