    Virgin LTE/3G speeds are woeful from my experience.

    They piggy back on Three's network so they're throttled.

    Vodafone also has the best phone coverage on the island. You pay for what you get really.

    There's a thread in Bargain Alerts...

    You can try VM for a month and cancel if it's not as expected.

    Just to clarify, VM is a SIM only 30 day rolling contract paid by direct debit, it's not PAYG.

    Hold on to the VF SIM for that month and port afterwards if VM works OK.

    Many have reported problems with 2FA with VM ie it is possible 2FA won't work.

    There is also 48 which costs 9.99 for 20GB + 300 minutes or 14.99 for 40GB + 300 minutes (PAYG).

    Gomo costs 12.99 for all calls + 80GB (SIM only).

    Depends what your usage is and what network has best signal at your location (3, VM and 48 all use same masts).
