funnily enough I am going to switch over to giffgaff for just this purpose. Have you found that you can tether just fine over VPN? You find GG generally alright? As is noted below GG are probably checking ttl, but from what I hear there are ways around this too.
- bananas 12y agoIt seems to work ok over a PPTP VPN for RDP purposes. Not sure if our remote end forces a different MTU or not. I remember someone doing some work on this to get Vodafone to not drop the connection. I haven't tried it past that much. I can whip an OTG keyboard/mouse into the thing and use it as an ssh terminal for the interesting bits with connectbot so don't need the tether facility. My ThinkPad has a 3G modem in it which I don't use any more - it was on Vodafone. GG are pretty good. They went down a couple of times in the last couple of years for a few hours but comms were pretty good about it. Never had any other problems with them. Data bandwidth and latency is pretty good on 3G (HSPA+). I've pulled a huge amount of data in a month without a problem. Calls are reliable and clear and you can crank up and down your free bits every month. To be honest I probably wouldn't ever hit another PAYG or contract provider again. I just buy SIM free handsets now on a whim, use them for a year, sell them if they're ok or repair them away if I break them at cost. Up £400-500 a year on my old O2 contract.
