Would everyone on three recommend it then?
Just noticed that they are going to roll out 4G at no extra cost to customers and for £15/m sim only you get unlimited data and more calls and texts than I would ever use.
Well the Plans are good value*, the coverage is a bit sketchy to say the least, f'rinstance I was in Harrogate all w/e and coverage up near Beckwithshaw was non existant yet over Skipton up near Bolton Abbey was full bars (no 3G, but at least I could make a call) and Bolton Abbey is in the Moors.. I get reasonable coverage in that Lonjon, but tall buildings splat most things out here..
I'd recommend them only for thier Plans, customer service is rubbish and coverage, well see above.
*if you think it's good value, it probably is
My phone is on O2, they seem about on-par with Vodafone as far as data goes i.e. crap. If I used 3G a lot I would definitely change networks.
I have a PAYG 3 sim in my iPad and in contrast that is excellent, good signal and really fast. Obviously not had the joys of their customer service though!
Do any phone company have a good service? On t-mobile and have to say the coverage is good but the service hasn't been great when I've had to deal with them. Tempted by Orange just for the film offer but their deals are awful.
EE just seems pointless at the moment - here's a much faster connection but you we'll charge you more to use less of it.
I'm on 3, and i get around 4 Mbps, which is fine by me :-). Unlimited data too, I get through around 5 gb a month
I am with Voda and they suck.
Luckily on Wifi at home and work.
Out and about its crap.
I'll be switching when my contract is up.
[url= http://www.rootmetrics.com/uk/compare-operators/ ]Root Metrics UK[/url] is always worth a look - they've done very detailed coverage assessments on all the operators in quite a few cities now - based on calling, texting and data performance inside and outside buildings.
There's a pretty consistent pattern now though which is EE and Three trading places for best network overall - the former now has the UK's biggest network measured by population and geographic coverage - when Three start to rollout 4G voice next July on 800 Mhz their indoor coverage will be way better than vodafone and o2's existing 2G coverage. EE have announced the planned rollout of 300Mb broadband on 4G which should make things even more interesting in 2014.
There's a mobile phone network? Not at my house - the wilds - about 5 miles from Cambridge.
My 3G (with three) was faster than our home broadband, but we've just gone to fibre optic so the broadband wins (by about 85mb!) now. But I'm still very happy with Three.
I've been on Three for almost a year and have no complaints, I've use the speed checker app from time to time and quite often see 5+Meg. It was upto around 7-8meg in my old house. I can't really see the need for faster than that on a mobile device. I do quite a bit of travelling with my job and haven't had a real problem with coverage - it seems better than my mate's T-mobile phone.
Get a mixture of 3.5 G (H+) and 4G in Darwen on EE and full 4G at work in Preston. Nearly as quick as my virgin media broadband.
As above, more prop's to 3
phone is on 3G EE, mobile wifi device on 3 - the 3 service just kills EE for speed. When it's time I'll switch phone to 3 and skip the 4G rip-off charges.
happened sooner than I thought - EE are [url= http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/10425756/EE-switches-on-worlds-fastest-4G-network.html ]turning on[/url] their 300Mbps 4G service today
