    I seem to be getting better download speeds over Vodafone 3G than I am getting on Three 4G.
    Three 4g = around 20 download
    Vodafone 3G = always 20 plus download

    You must be right beside a Vodafone mast, Voda and Meteor/Eircom both have ' up to' 42 Mb 3G HSPA+ networks.

    Three in general would be slow as they have alot of backhaul, all there equipment is in the UK connected by fibre.

    Vodafone have the best network in the country, and in general don't offer very generous data plans -> their network is unsaturated and getting close the the maximum theoretical speeds

    Three have the worst network in the country and are offering unlimited data plans -> their network is completely saturated and offers rubbish performance

    While I still think Vodafone are overpriced, in the end you get what you pay for.

    I am curious to see what Three will do once they have gained control over O2's network.

    02 data speeds have gone to hock since they launched they unlimited data on prepay. Three have a lot of work to do! Vodafone seem to think that loads of data is 1 GB.
