I've purchased a 3G iPad 2 and before I get a Sim card I was wondering what networks everyone uses?
Got a tip for us?

I don't see how anyone can use more than a gig a month.
Streaming uses loads but unless you have no wifi in your homes which everyone does I find it hard to imagine.
I use three as it's the best signal and fastest in my area. But I use a mobile broadband preloaded pay as you go sim cut down to micro sim size.
It saves me having to have a contract and is very flexible.

Yeah the MBB sims are the best plus if you live near the Outlets you get 12Months/12GBs for £60, ofc I would go to 3 rather then ebay or Amazon. Your paying more for that but atleast you get a real one. lol
I live near Belfast but commute and work in London frequently, I find 3 are top notch. Even when I had full 3G reception on both O2 and 3 I always found 3 to be faster and more responsive. Better deals too.
Reception is good too - I get full 3G coverage in a lot more places than I ever did with O2. That's my own experience mind you, depends where you live but I certainly haven't had any problems in and around the main towns in Northern Ireland and around central and east London.

Argos are still selling the sims for a fiver so rather than top up a tenner for 1 gig I just fit a new sim Buy 2 or 3 at a time jobs a good un

I bought one of those a few months ago to just have a micro sim (sad I know but I did use it in my Mifi).
Tomorrow I will be buying a few just to have since I am getting my iPad2 tomorrow.
Three without even thinking! Great coverage everywhere! Specially London
Browse Amazon for a micro sim. I got one from there with 3GB valid for 3 Months for only £8, can't beat that!
