hi all,

   after several years of using Giffgaff (on the O2 network) ,I am thinking of swopping to Plusnet ,using the EE network,

 I know most networks work around bigger cities,and are hopeless out in the sticks,
the cost saving is only small,but I just want better !!!

 I tend to get out and about both on the bike and by car,so your info would help,does your area have good coverage ?

do you know any "black" holes ?

in august I was coming back from North Wales,and got a rear wheel puncture,amazingly I had full phone coverage,!!
thanks all.

Not sure of whos network but my phone is on 3, pretty good coverage mostly. We used it as sat nav til that phone broke, new phone on same sim seems worse. I used to be on vodafone, a storm toom out the local mast, when dad phoned to ask if they would fix it they said,no not enough demand, and that lost them 4 customers I know of. I don't think its been fixed in 10 years so massive blackspot for Vodaphone up here. I seem to recall not great 3 coverage up at Lyonshall with 3 but picked up signal reasonably quickly when walking a few yards down the road. At my home, 3 is weak at times, walk a hundered yards down the hill, its faster online than our broadband. My wife tried Tesco mobile a few years back (same as 02? ) hopeless locally. I was on T mobile and they were ok around here, but very pricy on intertnet data. These days I expect to spend £10 a year on pay as you go through 3. 1p a megabite, 2p a text and 3pa min talking. It does seem very hit and miss with all companies but 3 have managed to give me the least number of areas that are mobile dead zones.

Mathew,I know Newtown is poor for O2,

 my puncture was about 1 south of Mailwyn roundabout,so It was ok there !!!

Bryanj:
Try googling ee coverage, worked for me when I needed to use a 3 dongle in norfolk

Nurse Julie:
EE good around here, can't get O2 or Vodaphone at all
