jonathan18: I'm on Skinny and my wife's (currently) on Spark and we notice no difference.
I wasn't aware of any differences in service (ie, 'hobbling') other than those due to the specific plan.
All good, I thought that they might divvy off a certain amount of capacity for Skinny and leave the bulk for for Spark customers aka 'premium experience'. Good to know that all customers get equal treatment.
TBH, in the world of pre-paid, I can't see why anyone would remain on one of the equivalent Spark plans (unless it's for the purpose of having Spotify included), given Skinny is cheaper, has carry-over minutes and data, and includes Austraia in its texts and minutes.

alasta: I seem to recall that Skinny had no global roaming available when they first started. Is that still the case?
kawaii: Ok, I see Skinny has a good deal on their combo but but a question; when it comes to using the Spark network, it isn't hobbled in any way? anyone noticed any differences when compared to being a Spark customer?

richms: Skinny has worked fine for me, but I find I get better value from vodafone with the friday deals with at least 2 of them during the month being a decent amount of data, letting the included gig roll over for when I dont have those deals on.
jonathan18:
What are the typical kind of deals they give on a Friday, and are they offered on prepaid plans?
