Trust you to lower the tone, ;D
I think your struggle watching 2Tb of "that kinda stuff" with a Fibre Broadband in a month. :-\

Good deal :y
Unfortunately since some tnuc at work stole my phone, I need a new one >:(
So will probably upgrade my Payg 3 SIM to a contract...

Welcome mate, glad it helps if it can be of use to someone. ;)

Just to add, the offer has just popped up on TopCashBack, with a £48 Casback for the same deal, that brings it down to £16pm for the first year. :y
Silly Cheap for Unlimited everything, let alone the Data. ;)

Its a great deal, but I have no idea how much capacity Virgin buy from Evil Everywhere, being an MVNO. I'm guessing not a huge amount, in order to be able to offer deals like that.
As an Evil Everywhere customer, I can say the network is very good, with 4G just about everywhere. When I was at Wembley a few days ago, I did a speed test, and "only" got 90MBps. I was told this was poor, and to try again, and got 147Mbps. A rough manual calc suggests at that rate, at full chat, I could gobble my monthly 2gb in a couple of minutes ;D
Normal speeds for me are in the 50-70Mbps, significantly faster than most wifi, thus I rarely use wifi.
The downside of the network is penetration in buildings, not having that lovely 900Mhz GSM frequency to fall back on.

They buy a fair bit tbh, but what you wont get is the full chat at 4g EE speed, EE save that for them selves, whether normal or there more expensive Double Speed bundles, I seem to remeber 40Mps is max on Virgin 4g, still not bad.
I cant seem to get anywhere near 4g 90Mbs on EE where I an these days (Double Speed Bundle as well) more like 10 to 20Mbs, interestingly if it reverts back to HSDPA+ I normally get around 15Mbs.
On Voda I can get around 28 to 40Mbs, or again if on HSDPA+ I normally get the full chat at the max 21Mbs.

My EE is PAYG, so mot sure if that includes the "double speed" stuff.
I pay £7.50 a month for 2.1G, 200m, unlimited text. I think its called an Everything pack.
