Because unfortunately around here (near London) they've got ridiculously slow. 4G speeds are laughable.
I was only staying due to the price as to be honest I don't need unlimited data. If I have to pay more I'll move to EE who I know is 100% better.

Because EE and Voda's 4G is miles faster and in more places than 3's.
Maybe so in the bigger cities, but EE were **** in my area, 3 excelled in service and speed.
Just got my bill email and checked my app, still on one for 15 for another 4 weeks, when it happens I'll go for the 200min few thousand texts and unltd data, my only other option is going for one of the 20+ gb data on another nw but they mostly cost more than £20.
So I've finally managed to change my contract.
I wanted the AYCE data/ text and 200 mins for £15/month that some people managed to get but apparently that is no longer available.
Next best option which I took was the 8gb and AYCE text and calls for £16/month
I was happy with that as I use nowhere near those amounts and paying 10p more than what I was before so just took it.

Get negotiating....initially I was getting nowhere past the website prices, but 'customer relations' did manage to come up with something suitable (I went 8GB/unl mins & texts on 1-month rolling for £18 - would have been cheaper on 12-month rolling, but prefer the flexibility for the time being)
They refused to budge at ALL from the website prices.
I ended up going to BT 20GB, unl min & texts for £20 (£5 discount for BT Broadband users) and also a £30 Amazon voucher AND I will hopefully get £40 cash back as well through Topcashback
I did ring up Three. They didnt budge whats so ever. So ened up requesting for my PAC code. Going to give it few days and see what other options are available.
Don't want to be paying no more then £15 as i only use Data. Don't need min and text.

Ended up going on o2 sim only £21 for unlimited minutes and texts and 6gb data.
Checked my bills for the last 12 months and haven't gone over 6gb (average around 4gb) so it's enough.
Main reason for picking o2 was the signal at work which is out in the sticks is best on o2 (Pretty poor on three). Seems to be excellent at home too, getting 4 signal Bars of 4G and 50meg down, ..on three was getting barely 1 Bar of 4G, but 3G was 3/4 bars and 20meg down.
Tbh getting kicked off the one plan was the kick up the arse I needed to change network, only stayed on three cus the the deal was so good for £15

Still going on mine but I was a late adopter, wanting to get a new phone but will wait till I get my letter and see what deal I can hopefully get, if no ball i'll change provider and get a phone on contract maybe
I also had my letter today 
I can't complain it's over 9 months after my brother who was on the same plan.
Three reckon the best fit is £20 PM for 200 mins, unlimited text and unlimited data. This is the same as my current £12.90 plan.
I guess as I'll be giving their data a hammering when I go to Hong Kong in May I might as well stick with it until then, it just means two pints a month less for now

Rang Three today to get my PAC. They offered me Unlimited calls and texts with 4GB data for £11 a month, which seemed pretty decent to me. But I've already taken out an S7E contract with 5GB data with EE, so their offer was too little too late.
My letter says £20 including a £3 discount. It might be worth ringing them and chancing my arm, but if I can get another £3 off it's a bonus. I'm not sure if other have noticed it but there signal seems to have dropped over the last couple of months, I used to get really strong signal in work and home but lately it's dropped off.
I don't really want to move at the moment because of my up coming holiday where I can use my home from home, I may stick it out and try another couple of PAYG sims in the meantime.
