Looking at the maps 3 UK has the most 3g coverage, i'm on 3 Uk and normally always have 3G signal it's a good network. |

Well done to Orange and 3UK perhaps Orange should have the iphone then. Anyway i have been on 3UK twice once with a K800i when it first came out and also a N73. Now i found with the Nokia or any Nokia i had a solid 3UK signal anywhere. With the Sony Ericsson it was awful. Strange. I noticed on the maps that Wales has terrible coverage.

Yeah, you have to remember though that the networks count coverage as % covered of the populated areas of the UK. Wales being very 'rural' hence coverage looks poor. I must say i've been with Orange for years now & have always found their reception very good. |

On VF I have only had 3G signal a few times. I only get HSDPA
It would be interesting to see the HSDPA coverage report

Yes i recently moved back from Orange to O2 and i have been missing the more reliable faster network on Orange. Also the 3G coverage is amazing. Think i may move back again.

Think the new boss of Orange Tom Alexander has been improving things confidently and quietly. I do like Orange except their retail stores where staff need training. Their network is very robust.
