Here's what kind of data speeds I was enjoying whilst roaming in Ireland:
I wasn't really a heavy user though - 10-20 emails a day, occasional Messenger/Whatsapp text here and there, that's about it.
Also noticed that I would not be able to make a call via a VOIP/SIP app. The app showed that I have logged into my VOIP provider's account no problem, but wasn't able to connect my call at all - no dial tone, nothing. Everything worked ok when switched on to WiFi. Never tried Skype or Viber though.
What's your experience with O2 roaming in EU?

As far as I'm aware, PayM customers get "unlimited" data on Data Travel (here unlimited means that heavy users could get their speeds capped). I done these checks just a couple of times, and not even sure tbh how much data is being consumed per each check on SpeedTest.

I took it as 100mb before speeds are capped but speed tests can use up 50mb. That was what I was trying to say in my own drunken way in the early morning hours here. I did a couple of speed tests in Tenerife and data was practically unusable for the rest of the day.

Good evening to you all, this was my experience last year which I did complain to O2 and got a full refund due to this.

Hi @darrengf Nice to see you back. I remember your thread. It appeared that if you travelled to a country which used a network owned by Telefonica ....there were no issue with data usage. (My experience in Spain using Movistar gave me no problems at all)
Glad to hear you had a good outcome to your complaint and got a full refund
