I can do this exact thing on Three Ireland's SIMs while roamingYes, I ran a few speedtests to use the 1GB (well, 0.66GB):

And this is me doing a speed test, which breaks the data connection: https://files.catbox.moe/88alxd.mp4
And this is me scrolling a random Telegram group with lots of pictures: https://files.catbox.moe/3hpf8x.mp4
Notice that the text loads fine, same with the compressed images, but if I try to download 3MB+ files... it disconnects data for a few seconds, but only if the app downloads the file too fast.
I guess the trick is tokeep the speed lowcap the speeds so it doesn't trigger their threshold? Not sure if there's some app to do that.
Can I try and run a 24/7 "speedtest" with this? I'm curious, if you managed 3mbps 24/7 for 30 days, you could use just under 1TB@GavinAshford Hmm, I didn't know that, thanks.
To test the limit, I had the idea of using the phone's hotspot and then use the developer tools on a desktop browser to limit the speeds there.
After testing different values, it seems not to disconnect if I stay under ~3Mbps for download and ~8Mbps for upload:

I don't intend to abuse this, but I had to scratch this itch and know the limit![]()
This is really just targetting people who don't do a second of research picking a contract, i'm pretty sure Lebara would work out better even if you went for the best plan they have@meritez @Lucian Vodafone has a 2Mbps plan, it costs £23 a month:

It is if you port your own number in. Fine if you use the number they supply you with.Is OTP / SMS still an issue with SPUSU, would be using an iPhone?
Thank you, I had already sent the PAC code so looks like I am going to have to cancel or just immediately move on…It is if you port your own number in. Fine if you use the number they supply you with.
Some may just want the reliability and service of Vodafone, speed isn’t really an issue for probably 95>% of mobile users.This is really just targetting people who don't do a second of research picking a contract, i'm pretty sure Lebara would work out better even if you went for the best plan they have
I've managed to game on under 0.5mbpsSome may just want the reliability and service of Vodafone, speed isn’t really an issue for probably 95>% of mobile users.
Speed only matters to the small few like here, when 2meg will pretty much allow you to do everything except maybe online game stream HD.
With Vodafone you have access to the stores, contact centres, app and brand.
MVNO you don’t get much or any of that which you could really rely on.
Yeah depends what type in all fairness, I’ve managed a game of apex on O2 sub 3meg before (I didn’t win…) but stillI've managed to game on under 0.5mbps(Firsty eSIM on vodafone UK)
It's HD streaming that has issues for me, when the 4G is stable, 0.5mbps is fine for gaming
