I visit HU17 every month, just to the east of the Molescroft Inn, on the north side of Beverley. The 3 signal is very strong and no issue with data on it at that location for me.

Have you tried complaining to 3?

I am there again & Three is giving me 3 or 4 bars out of 4 on H+ (it is a 4G phone, so still not there yet, but still on the road map for 4G in 2014). I am getting 0.04 Mbps to 0.15 Mbps (most often 0.07 or less) & it is unusable - upload is fine - generally 1.25 to 2.5 Mbps. Tried tweeting Three (I struggle to understand strong accents, hence don't fancy calling). Their Twitter team have been slow off the mark this time (after I praised them). Seems that they are still replying to Tweets from Saturday - won't hold my breath!!!

Are you visiting on a weekend? I was in Molescroft a couple of days ago (Tuesday) and data speeds were well down on what I normally get. The likely reason could be due to the kids being off school at half term. I normally visit on a weekday morning which is usually a quiet time for data use.
Last year in a seaside town I noticed the same problem, on a Saturday evening the data rate was awful. I guess it's down to the popularity of Three, they need to catch up and provide more bandwidth at peak times, but there again I guess it's always going to be a struggle for any of the networks due to the popularity of smart phones and dongles.

I am not (generally there for anything from 3 to 10 days anything from 3 to 10 times a year - depends how many times folk are ill/in hospital/worse :undecided). When I was last there (early October) data was crud. On both EE & Three it was much better at like 5 or 6AM - would tend to suggest it is over-subscription & further on a shared mast! I did contact three, who said there was an issue that would be resolved in a week (same that EE told me on my last visit) - they text in mid-Oct to say resolved, so looks like the fix wasn't much cop! Will report back next visit.
