Smarty/Three vs O2

[Zippee]

Hi all - I realise this question will be very different as we all live in different places but I need a new SIM only deal with EU roaming included and both the above are coming out fairly high;
O2 - 25gb data (all I need) plus EU roaming and 5G for £8 on a 12 month contract
Smarty (Using the Three network) £10 a month, no contract, 40gb data and again EU roaming.

How have people found these providers and network performance? If I look at the coverage checkers they are both pretty much all over but as we know that doesn't really mean anything these days.

Kids have been with Smarty for about 3/4 yrs never had any probs, also have a look on hotukdeals, Smarty regularly do good deals on there.

Or try Id Mobile, I've been with them for years, no issues;

I have a dual sim with both of these networks.

Smarty speeds are very fast but once you get to London it slows to a crawl (even on 5G) so switch to O2 for better coverage

Don’t bother with 02! I was with them for years through Sky mobile and just got rid.

Doesn’t work anywhere that is remotely busy, 5g network not as advanced as other providers.

I’ve just gone with coop mobile, they piggyback off EE. They do free EU roaming

Thank you all so far

A few years ago, I changed from Giffgaff to Smarty and couldn't even get a signal in the house (South Wales) so switched back.

Never have a problem here or abroad and it has roaming. Uses OF network.

SIM only. No contract.
