Worth pointing out that even though GiffGaff has the lowerst total cost of ownership, you can't get LTE on their (i.e. O2's) network yet.

Actually, Only EE is guaranteed support on their LTE network - The LTE spectrum bands up for auction for the other networks are different to those supported by the 3 announced models of the iPhone 5. [0] This means that even post-auction, EE is the only LTE operator for the iPhone 5. As a side-note: I'm unsure about whether 3 will have their LTE supported as the article [0] is ambiguous about the 1800MHz spectrum EE sold to 3.

Giffgaff will most likely be increasing their £10 plan to £13 in the coming months[0]. I'm actually in the process of switching to 3's £12.90/month 1 month rolling contract[1] as they actually have the nano sims, though none of their plans have been included in the spreadsheet.

  >> though none of their plans have been included in the spreadsheet. Which is a shame because between Voda (work phone), O2 (previous long term customer) and Three (past 2 years), Three wins hands down, previously O2 seemed the best - to me anyway. Cheap as chips too, £15/mo PAYG, unlimited data, 300 mins, 3000 sms. Can reduce to £10/mo with a 12 month contract but that also caps the data. They're tethering friendly too.
