best tariff or network. Network, EE everytime. Cover more of the UK land mass than any other network, spent up to 40 million in the last 2 years upgrading its 3g signal masts and even more introducing 4g masts across most towns and cities for the internet lovers.

EE is basically the business name, but the tariffs are split into three.

T-mobile (3g but great for unlimited internet) -

Orange (3g but great for minutes) -

EE (4g. great for internet, no other network has 4g yet and their tariffs are capped etc.)

t mobile do unlimited internet with a top smartphone for as cheap as £26...im talking your samsung S3's etc...

3 will always have cheaper tariffs than other networks, they only have a 10% market share and they need to do this to stay in business by competing. Although im not in to slating networks, 3 isnt the best in terms of reliability. People will tell you they've had no problems with 3....but a lot more will say its crap. So the question to you is.... price over quality, or quality over price??

Why get unlimited internet if you can't use it everywhere when you want. Especially if you work in various locations.

If you're going for a high end phone likelihood is you will be tied in for 24 months. If you can afford to buy the phone outright do it and go for giffgaff's £12 a month deal if you don't need too many minutes (unlimited texts:unlimited internet (no tethering):250 minutes). They use O2's network.
