https://www.youtube.com works fine as it is not buffered, unfortunately all those embedded links don't use the https site, on a 60Mbs connections I spent 35 mins last night buffering a 1min 34sec 1080p clip, by the time it was ready for playing I had completely forgotten about it. 3 Months now is taking the pee.

Running a £10 giffgaff (1GB inc. tethering) monthly rolling sim only deal you will have paid off the phone against the carphone warehouse deal (£31) in 13 months that gives you a saving of £231 on a 24mth contract and frees you up to change contracts at your leisure. I no longer see any reason to get free phone deals infact i have not for the last 12mths.
Ok so you only get 250mins and 1GB but still.

Re: Giffgaff
Swapped from Orange to GiffGaff last year 2 outages that i barely noticed were the only issues i have found. the signal from O2 in all my locations that i have used data is many times better than Orange was, loosing 300mins on my phone contract but gaining unlimited texts and data and dropping my costs by £30 is a no brainier, and i have the option if i ever need to drop back to PAYG for calls but grab a data plan and use my phone legitimately as a wifi hotspot is priceless.
The only fly in the ointment is that if you run out of mins or want to change goody bags you have to wait until the full month is up.
I find my self using mobile internet a lot ore now than i used to on my orange contract when I had 1 GB surprisingly i am still using less than 500MB on average (some months much higher some much less the freedom to not be tied to the same usage month in month out is very liberating.
