    Thanks but that map is simply not a true representation of the coverage,  here in Gainsborough, outside the house we get 1 bar, in the woods up the road no reception at all but that map is blue over the whole area.
    Is there anywhere we can get a true picture?
    I've lived in and around Gainsborough for years and although no network really covers this part of Lincolnshire particularly well, the 'least bad' of the bunch in this area tends to be Vodafone in my experience.

    The only way to establish how good a signal will be is to actually get one for each of the main network providers and try it out.

    Where I live the network maps suggest that EE is the only one that can give a half decent signal indoors and that 3 is by far the worst and a hopeless non starter. In practice I have found that 3 provides a much better signal than any other network!

    I am now in the process of testing the service in other areas that I frequently visit to get an overall picture and see if I would benefit from switching.

    That is what I am thinking but which network?  It is obvious they lie about coverage so need independent information.
    Ask neighbours who they use ?
