Told great coverage by provider - If i get poor reception, what can i do?

I'm asking this as a precautionary - This has not happened (yet)!
I'm after a new Phone (Samsung Galaxy S2) and plan to use it a great deal for its internet potential (YouTube, Applications, that sort of thing) aside from the usual calls and texts. If anything i will be using it as a sort-of hand-held computer/smaller-tablet. Looking to go with Three and their 'The One Plan' for £35 a month for 24 months, mainly for the completely limitless data usage which no other service provides. I've checked coverage for my current residence and i'm bang in the middle of an area with apparent great reception. I'm moving house in October/November and checked the new place out - again, in the middle of an area which is meant to have amazing service.
My question is this: If i place a contract with Three and it turns out that my coverage is actually pretty bad and i receive poor call and internet service, despite both seeing and being told i will get a great coverage (for both my current and future residence), am i on any grounds to cancel the contract or get something else done about it?

Truthfully, no. I would get a Three PAYG Sim, top it up with £10 and run it for a week to see how it fares.Have I helped? Feel free to click the 'Thanks' button. I like to feel useful (and smug).

You will have as much luck in returning the handset for poor reception as you would have if you tried to return a motor car because it did not match the fuel consumption quoted!
Do as Miss Keith suggests and save yourself a lot of bother.0 -
Expected as much. Cheers for the info, will get myself a Sim to test out.0
