O2 Travel Data Speeds

[dgboss10]

Hi,

I'm off away in a few weeks to a couple of different places. One of them is in the travel inclusive zone and the is in the standard o2 travel for £6 a day. On the travel t's and c's it says that data speeds are capped at 2mbps which is fine for me. Does the 2mbps also apply to the travel inclusive zone bolt on as well or is it slower? 

here is the part from the o2 page:

There’s no fixed data allowance with O2 Travel, so to manage traffic (including audio and video streaming) we limit the service to 2Mbps

It applies to all travel destinations outside of the EU.

Does this include USA as well? Im sure all travel and inclusive travel destinations used to be 500kbps? Has this changed?

The T&C's state both speeds now but the 2mbps is a new addition so we can only assume it's been improved and they missed the 0.5 bit when updating the website.

As soon as I land in the USA next month I'll do a speed test and find out if they've finally got rid of the ridiculous 0.5mbps cap

Be good to know @dgboss10 👍

It has indeed been increased @dgboss10  & @MI5. Do let us know about the speed test results though  👀

Not before time @Breanna 👍

Thanks for Confirming this @Breanna. Made up I can enjoy free roaming in USA at usable speeds 😅

@dgboss10 Why you think a speed of 2Mbps is a usable speed is beyond me. You'll be lucky if you can check your email and not much of anything else. There's plenty of free WiFi available in the US, but keep in mind that public WiFi is not secure.
