Mobile operator Three (3) has come out top in 8 out of 15 categories for an independent YouGov DongleTracker survey of 4,053 Mobile Broadband customers (2,160 used Smartphone's), beating rivals including Orange , T-Mobile , O2 and Vodafone UK. In particular 3 were the best for fastest connection speeds, as well as being number one in reliability, ease of use and value for money.


It's the second time in a row that Three (3) has come top of the survey, which appears to vindicate the operators huge investment efforts. Annoyingly the results breakdown is never released in public, so we can only guess about the other categories.

At the same time, YouGov SMIX and iPhone survey results see Three (3) rated as the best network for speed and value by Smartphone customers using mobile internet and as the best network for the iPhone. In fact, Three’s smartphone customers are more likely to recommend their network than the customers of any other operator.
