I remember the Three network used to suck (or so I believed) but The One Plan seems awesome. How good is the Three network?
Very good compared to before they got the iPhone in 2010.
Their speeds are very fast I'm very happy with their unlimited data and tethering for a good price.
I switched from O2 to 3 in May, so far no issues and much better / faster 3G coverage; often I have 3G and my wires O2 iPhone has none.
Give it up. Every post i see about Three is you trying to sell it.
Ok, it might be good for you (as you've made abundantly clear), but others have had shockingly bad experiences.
O2 offer 12 month for existing customers, yeah £52 per month is pricey but works out at;
32GB 4S
£52 x 12 = £624
Handset = £139.99
TOTAL = £763.99
SIM FREE = £599.99
That just leaves £164, which works out at £13.67 a month, 64GB total is £833.99, with an average monthly spend of £11.16 once you take sim free cost into equation, which is not bad for 1200 mins, unlimited text and 500MB data which is enough for me as I have wifi at home and work.

and others have had shockingly good experiences!
if you've been using mobiles for along time you'll find that they all suck and the goal is to go with the operator that sucks the least! I've been with them all - right now three is awesome, esp for iphone users with their unlimited data.
I just about manage on 500meg a month at the mo so when I go onto a O2 Simplicity monthly contract in 2 months with 1GB it should be well enough.
Get to keep my visual voicemail as well.
So glad I got the 4S outright.

Haha, did you still get one last year, despite being 30th or so in the queue?
There is several occasion where my o2 has very poor 2g signal or no signal, my 3 network give me 3G! It has been so many occasion this had happened and is not in one place midlands, wales even southeast. I always travel around and carry two phone. Signal wise I think only vodafone come close with three
I'm sure they have. The post was not intended to be a dig a Three. Only that it is tiresome seeing the user trying to sell them with every post he/she posts.
Like you say, everyone has had good/bad experiences with all networks. With the exception of the poster who appears to be on Three's payroll.
Very very happy with what O2 are offering - doing the fast track upgrade to get myself out of my iPhone 4 contract - costing around £220, then getting the 16GB 4S (free for existing customers at launch) on £35/month, with £6 data bolt on. .

Are O2 reserving iPhone 4S's for new customers on the 14th Oct?
All the best,

The big problem is they now no longer fall back to Orange everywhere like they used to. In areas where they feel their 3G coverage is good enough they have turned off the option to fall back to Orange but that has caused more blackspots than they had before.
Three have a PAYG option for £15 top up p/m u get 300 mins, thousands odd texts which no one uses anymore and ALL YOU CAN EAT data, I checked with customer support and there is NO LIMIT.
I tried to downgrade from sim only monthly contract to get it but they offered my 3GB data to stay on contract, cant really argue with that.

What ??? How did you get that?
