Sky mobile slow after switch from O2

[Rackley]

Since switching from O2 to sky mobile internet access has been dreadful in Dorset.

its so bad we are having to look to switch provider. We were ok on O2 direct

Sky runs on the O2 network so usually it should be the same.

Do any mast issues show here for you:

I know that it runs on top of O2 in a vpn

the truth is since the switch both my wife and I get absolutely rubbish internet access unless on a WiFi

Same for me and I'm in ireland. I had an unlocked s24 and phone network was perfect. I got the Z flip 8 of sky and since then my calls drop, phone data is blotchy.

I think because skys deal is so cheap we get the lowest priority on the network. It makes no sense if I get the same level of service for £5 a month as someone paying O2 £20 a month.

surely the ones paying more get first dibs on the network bandwidth? 
if sky could confirm this I would happily pay more to get better service

Also when we are on holiday it's fantastic! 5G boom 

as in not on O2 UK network
