I overlook the whole of exeter from my exwick appartment.. I can see the mast from my window. Im always 3g or the H. I stream at 1mbps HD bbc iplayer and download at around 600kbps from good servers. I do however get droped from time to time to below 2g, it is annoying.. But it is as fast as cornish broadband. For the price i pay.. Im very happy.

Exeter is excellent Âfor giffgaff.
Must have changed then - GG uses O2 and i've always had issues anywhere outside the city centre - Exwick for example is a 2.5G only area - when you can get it...

Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated.
Get in-touch with your current provider - they might (and will if O2)
unlock the phone free of charge.
First google finds this though:

Might be worth a try.
And as others suggest - if you're in a good O2 area, try Giff Gaff...
I've a couple of free SIMs if you're at the next LUG meets, or click here:

(Other affiliate links are available ;-)
By using an affiliate link we both get a free fiver, but do check you're
in a good O2 area first. I've found Exeter to be particularly bad for O2,
but I have a good 3G signal on my local mast half way down the A38.
Right now the best data network is probably Three though.
