3G Coverage: Three vs Vodafone

mcbert

Hi,

has anyone used both? Which has better 3G coverage?

I find Three good - in general - but sometime is does switch to roam on Vodafone 2G. I wonder, would I be better off being on Vodafone permanently.

Thanks.

If money is no problem go with Voda. But they are very poor value for money compared to Three., planwise at least.

Thanks.

Sure, they are more expensive, but Ive been monitoring my 3G data usage over a few months, and seem to easily keep under 500MB/month. I have 4GB on Three, and just dont need it all. I'm on Wifi for any big stuff.

I also like data roaming anywhere in Eurpoe for €2/day/10MB. Three data roaming is more restrictive.

Vodafone has the best coverage. Isn't Meteor on the same network so may be a cheaper alternative. You should make sure 3G is actually available in the places you want it before you choose Vodafone though, if they can't do the coverage ether there's probably no point in paying extra.

If you have access to a "Three Like Home" network in Europe, then your tarriff covers all activity at no extra cost.
