Thinking of leaving O2 and moving over to Orange, anyone here on Orange?

Currently I dont get the £5 discount O2 has to offer for existing mobile customers but Orange are now doing a similar offer.

My bills are £18.05 per month and Orange can do this £10 a month.

Though the speed and the 'unlimited data usage' are the same as O2, anyone here currently on Orange and don't have any problems with being capped?

I currently house share with 2 other people and they do a fair usage of downloading and streaming, am I going capped?

o2 LLU?

Also, it's extremely unlikely that you'll be better off with Orange rather than o2.

I was with Orange Broadband once when I had my mobile with orange, broadband was fast enough really, was upto 8Mb at the time but got 4-6mb most times, bills where cheap service was good never went down in the space of 18 months or so. I was happy the cap I had I never reached somthing like 20Gb month at the time most i got to it was about 18Gb....... but it depends on what you do on the internet.
One thing i will say when downloading anything large say over 100Mb the download would slow down at times this i thought was todo with being capped for download rate at peak times

Im with Virgin Media now so much better, downloads much more stable and hold at a steady speed

Thanks for the informative post. I do know we do acquire files bigger at 100mb or more. At the moment O2 does not throttle any download speeds at any time or where the source is coming from.
