Three / T Mobile network sharing question

I remember a while ago reading that three and tmobile were to start sharing their 3G masts. But when I check the coverage in my area, three is excellent (I am with them so can verify it), but T Mobile have no 3g coverage at all. Can anyone explain?

    It must be out of date information. I'm sure T Mobile bought most if not all of Three's 3G masts.
  • So their website coverage checker is out of date...hmmmm.

    They merged base stations sites ownership under 1 company (Mobile Broadband Network Limited (MBNL), 50% of that company is each a 3 & T share. Running costs for sites costs/data transmission to 3 & T servers are now shared 50:50, reduction from 18,000 sites to 13,000 is planned due to shared sites.

    It will take time for 100% of sites to be implemented with cells/transmitters for both companies.
    SO... now England its the Scots turn to say dont leave the UK, stay in Europe with us in the UK, dont let the tories fool you like they did us with empty lies... You will be leaving the UK aswell as Europe ;)
