Why would you need LTE from EE. With 3 you have truly unlimited data!

Why would you need LTE from EE. With 3 you have truly unlimited data!
You do realise 3 will be using EE's LTE soon enough? It was part of the conditions ofcom laid out.
OH.Three won't be using EE's network, they have purchased some from EE for there own use. It belongs to Three now. The problem with Three is they don't have a 2G network! So when you have a poor or non existent 3G/4G reception you won't be able to use your phone. EE's 2G network covers about 98% of the UK.

I thought it was just least to 3, like 3G virtual networks, but EE control the spectrum still?
Am looking forward to seeing what O2's DC-HSDPA looks like.
Three have purchased, not leased, the spectrum from EE, which was a condition of the merger.
Three isn't an MVNO per se.
Tripe. Three has a national roaming agreement when there's no 3G coverage:

..you cannot use data in roaming mode however, calls only.

As would I.

They're not an MVNO in any sense surely? They have their own infrastructure / billing etc..
The fact that have a national roaming agreement in place for network blindspots is extremely wise, I wish that ALL providers would do this personally - I'd even pay for it! Just to be able to make a call pretty much anywhere would be amazing and save the frequent asking around the table at dinner 'who's got signal?' when it's time to get a cab

I get no signal in several places near where I live due to no 3G
They turned off the orange 2g fallback a while ago
Data is good but I still need basic contact wherever I am
Nope, Three are not an MVNO, as you said, they have their own infrastructure. The only have an agreement with Orange for 2G sharing, but to be honest, I haven't found a place where I don't get 3G coverage.
I agree with you though, it should be done One thing I do lament is that Three's masts seem to have a lower output transmitter power - not sure why.
They turned it off where they considered the 3G coverage to be acceptable (I know cell engineers at H3G and used to work in the industry myself), I still get 2G fallback pretty frequently when I'm visiting places. And how do you know those places aren't Orange blackspots too? Sadly there are plenty of places where there's still no signal on any network.
----------
Other big networks have always campaigned to keep H3G down so I'm sure that's a part of it.. I'm a big fan myself apart from the daily sales calls and call centre staff sometimes
Their coverage is pretty good IMO but not the best .. but the overall package more than makes up for it.

Thanks for confirming my previous post.
If you have an iPhone on the Three network try turning of your 3G ( in settings ) or mobile Internet/Data toggle.
See what happens?

I'm debating the big change over to three...
I'm up in Doncaster, but have the worry about all this "no 3G, no signal at all" issue. Is this actually true? What is the signal like anyway, because if its good, then there shouldn't be a problem anyway?
I think in going to need unlimited data!
So debating 3's £12.90 plan, or T mobile £21 plan for unlimited?? Any advice?
