But how many towers will they get rid of ?

They won't want the expense of running two towers close to one another when they  repeat the coverage area ... even though it may leave more of us in a coverage shadow.

Mobile networks occasionally remove masts, it can be for reasons of access, excessive rental charges, etc. Your best bet is to avoid any SIM deal beyond 30 days rolling, you can then move elsewhere in a couple of working days. However, there are now only 3 networks... Voda/Three, O2 and EE, so there is less choice.

In my locality, EE have far greater 5G coverage that the rest put together, however the "5G" is in name only as it is radio kit connected to 4G backhaul equipment and as such is only marginally better than 4G.

I am on a pay monthly contract with Talkmobile but was hoping that Vodafones linking up with Three might improve coverage in my home, because I only connect at around 3Mbps due to being in a shadow from next doors house !

But I have been with Three as well - a few years ago and suffered from identical issues then.

Funny you should mention that. BBC have picked up on it today, "why 5G symbol doesn't mean you have 5G"
