o2 v VF v Three

Thanks for the insight - I went with VF in the end.

It's a shame about o2 was a good network once upon a time. The lack of capacity on the network was what swung it. Oh and their preposterous statement about speed being a vanity metric, complete clowns.
 
I need to get a second line.

My main line is with EE.

It needs to be on a MNO.

For all intents and purposes, you can assume all of the three MNOs except for EE are crap (they are) here.

Which network would you recommend and why?

Thanks

  • For the exact same coverage and performance- EE on the exact or better plan than your first line

  • For similar coverage but with some areas limited to 3G only (mostly some rural villages/town and rural landscapes/terrains), lower performance on 4G due to most MBNL rural sites on 3 have less spec compared to EE and potential better coverage than EE in residential parts of cities due to single-operator gigabit 5G poles - 3
Note: Reason for 3 and EE to have similar coverage is because of their MBNL agreement.

  • For mostly entirely different coverage - Either O2 or VF depending on where you reside on this map, if your answer is unwind, VF will be the best option.

Note: VF and O2 have similar coverage due to their Cornerstone agreement.

VF and O2 coverage comparision shows to be much more indentical compared to EE and 3 mainly because 3 still have a portion of 3G only sites on B1 which defines less coverage and a different "G" network resulting in less 4G coverage and less overall combined 3&4G coverage because 3's 3G is only B1. VF and O2 always atleast share the lowest band on all shared sites to balance the coverage but other factors such as performance may vary.
