Anyone on here use Three?
A lot of the review site quite scathing but are they really that bad?
cheers
Useless in many of the areas I ride (away from the central belt of Scotland)
I have been with them for ages now as they had a cracking 6month contract deal a while ago. Which ended up being 10months and then I took an 18monther out with them to get a free Nokia E71.
One of my main reasons for renewing was that they treated Italy (where I spend alot of time) like a home network. They dont anymore but I do get a £10 refund every month to make up for my £70+ bills.
They still work out fairly cheap for the abroad calls.
Not had any other bother with them really, occasional busy network etc... but likely to be no worse than any other. I dont venture into the 'wild wilds' often but havent had too much trouble finding a signal, it flips onto a 2G network if it cant get 3g. (Orange I think)
The customer services are now very switched on and helpful, one of the old complaints that they must have spent alot of time sorting out.
I personally think Vodafone may be the best overall network but you do have to pay more for it.
I will definately consider renewing with them, there is a limited range of phones but again they are decent enough.
Most important thing as my brother has just found out is to buy a network that you can use in your house. He is on Vodafone and their guarantee that anyone can get signal in their own house means the customer spending £50 on a booster box.
3 came up tops in the Register's recent review of mobile broadband:

Three have a roaming contract with orange so if you're outside 3's own coverage you can roam on Orange for free. I've found it to be a lot better than Vodafone or o2 on my travels.
