Another go, same place, right next to the router. This one has impressed me as I’d expect Saturday afternoons to be quite congested on the network.

Three 5G at my desk in Ashford, Kent
Small world, eh? I think I've seen another user mention Ashford on here too before, not sure if it was you but I don't think so - I just lurk around, not really too activeDidn't expect to see another Ashfordian on here!
Can't say there's really anywhere around Ashford where Three struggles, proper solid near enough everywhere now!
Three was awesome in ashford when I last tested, even when I was roaming onto the networkSmall world, eh? I think I've seen another user mention Ashford on here too before, not sure if it was you but I don't think so - I just lurk around, not really too active
Yeah Three performs very well here, to be fair, never had a problem with any MNO in Ashford. Have you seen the amount of Three poles in Stanhope now? Really bemuses me, think there's 2 phase 8's and a phase 9 just on Stanhope Road all within 500m of each other. One of these phase 8's would be the one that speedtest is from as I am myself lucky enough to have direct LoS to it. I think they must have seen all my data usage and slapped down all those poles haha![]()
Yeah Three is great here usually and is deploying very aggressively compared to the other MNOs, definitely provides the best 5G experience here. Shame I travel to London very frequently and can't say the same about it there, otherwise I would seriously consider having it as my main. It's really shocking how bad Three can be in London, one time I found myself almost missing a train because I couldn't get the ticket up on my phone, and had to embarrassingly ask for my friend on EE to hotspot me. That's also actually the same day I switched off from Three back to EE.Three was awesome in ashford when I last tested, even when I was roaming onto the network
How do you find the other networks at the shopping outlet? I found both EE and O2 pretty unstable
Very unlikely to improve until the merger is decidedSome lovely congested B3. This site is serving an area where EE has multiple, whereas Three just has this (which covers a large populated area) and another that's 3G-only with an NTQ.

Yep, that happened to me, first on O2 when I moved here (expecting it to be as good as Ireland), and then with Three in Eastbourne in 2020. Both times I was hotspotted by an EE users, and both times I ported out within the week paying early cancellation chargesI couldn't get the ticket up on my phone, and had to embarrassingly ask for my friend on EE to hotspot me. That's also actually the same day I switched off from Three back to EE.
