Mobile Network Comparison

O₂ has won five awards for its broadband service from price comparison site uSwitch. O₂ won awards under the categories for Best Broadband Provider, Fastest Mobile Broadband, Best Broadband and Home Phone, Best Technical Support and Best Customer Service.

There were a total of 15 awards to be won this year, and O₂ won five meaning that they claimed more awards than any of its competitors. Spaking about the awards, head of O₂ consumer marketing, Martin Bould believes there has been a continued investment into customer services:

Over the last few years we have continued to invest heavily in our service and independent research into broadband services and the uSwitch Tech Broadband Awards 2012 wins is the proof that putting quality of service first ensures the best experience available. Something we are very proud of. Even though we’re still only young, we’re delighted to add five uSwitch Tech Broadband Awards to the other 63 industry awards that we have already.

O₂, along with other mobile network providers, have had broadband deals for a few years, and since then new services and products have been offered from these companies. It’s more than likely to see even more services from businesses like this in the future, as companies grow larger, it only seems right to improve their range of products.

BlackBerry services are now, at long last, live and active on Giffgaff. As of this morning, all BlackBerry-owning Giffgaff customers have been able to receive push emails and communicate by BBM to their hearts’ content. So far everything seems to be running smoothly and, in keeping with their low-cost service, the price is just £3/month.

This means that on Giffgaff you can now get 250 any network minutes, completely unlimited texts and unlimited data plus BlackBerry services for a total of just £13/month. We’ve had a look at the other networks’ available deals and that offering is pretty much unbeatable. Giffgaff’s BlackBerry offering even heavily undercuts its parent network, O₂. For only 100 minutes (and 100 O₂ minutes) and just 1GB of data, you would be paying £20/month instead.

Order a free Giffgaff SIM card from us today and you’ll be up and running with your BlackBerry on Giffgaff before you know it. Not only that but you’ll start off with £5 free credit and you can keep your old number.
