Considering moving from O2 to three because it's a lot cheaper. Wise move or not??

    The easiest way to compare coverage is to check what reception you get from 3/tmob/orange who all network share and then from o2/voda who use each others networks which ever provide the best reception coverage and speed would be the winner.

    I stand to be corrected by others who may know better, but 3 & Orange stopped their sharing deal some time ago and Orange/T-Mobile have areas where their 2G provides a signal, but not their 3G (which is why 3, being a 3G-only network struck the Orange deal).

    So a good signal from Orange will NOT necessarily mean a good signal from 3.

    Three have always had the largest 3G network in the UK both geographical and population wise. IME they've also had the highest speeds as well.

    Their ONE plan is the best in the UK and it also allows you to tether your phone to your computer to use it for broadband in the home as well as just mobile.
