haha vodafone, worst 3g services, 3 the best - offical

this is why I will only ever recommend and use 3 and been with them 10+ years.


some problems with 4g services across all networks.


but yes Vodafone you get what you deserve, especially with my yet unresolved problem, and I was only a customer of yours for 6 days the phone went back due to your crappy 3g service.


quote
"The research found that Three has the best 3G coverage.

By contrast, Vodafone customers have to suffer the worst 3G services, with large parts of the country from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland through to the South West and North East of England suffering patchy coverage" end quote


so ill ask again, why would any of you on the Vodafones retention thread want to be retained by this company? and all you thinking of joining Vodafone - my opinion is don't.

    I can't take it too seriously, though.
    OpenSignal rely on people having the app installed. Their coverage map has so many holes it seems pointless.
    Which? A joke. To assess speeds of networks they ask the users.Last time giffgaff came top for data speed - how absurd.

    Probably because as in many cases there are area's where the Vodafone signal is better than others and vice versa.
    Pointless being on 3 if you can't get a signal but can on Vodafone
    It's not just about the money

    Used my three mobile yesterday to surf the web in an area where there was no o2 (my previous network) signal.

    A few hours later I was with a colleague who was using his o2 phone wheras mine had no signal at all.

    What does this prove?

    Nothing, other than network coverage is variable.

    One can always argue with poor research based upon wrong data incomplete data etc. One can never argue with someone that plucks a web link out of the air to back up a subjective opinion .
  • like this you mean? just gets better for three

    "three rated the uks most reliable network by yougov"

    and hardly plucking weblinks out of thin air, when I came across it when reading todays news - troll

    I did not actually mean you where pulling web links to proof your point of view just that so many do such .This often gives a false argument as per post 2 re OpenSignal .
    I am sure you never post anti Vodafone posts so if you think I was insulting you then i apologize .
  • im very anti Vodafone, if you have look at my other post you will understand why.


    and I also apologise to you for mentioning the word troll, and did not intend to insult you either.
