O2/GiffGaff

[Anonymous]

I understand & know that GiffGaff is an mvno & uses O2 network to run on but just asking for a friend who is on GiffGaff..

Why do I on O2 have better signal when we are in the same place & they have less signal on GiffGaff which is the same service

it's a strange phenomena @perksie  x

ASU id far more relevant and apps such as "Network Signal Info" on android (and others I guess) give a more accurate reading.

With giff gaff you get slower 4g/3g data speeds than o2, tesco and lyca and gt mobile, I know as i have tested it,

That's odd I've never seen anyone complain about that before.

Not seen that myself tbh.

It does depend on area. For me in Cov area there's little difference but I have noticed giffgaff considerably slower when I am in Liverpool - I guess it all down to the number of users latched on at the time ?

I agree it can't be down to GiffGaff slowing it down.
