Never heard anyone say anything good about 3 mate.

I've been on 3 for years and never had a problem, apart from deepest darkest Yorkshire in a room made of granite and brimstone and the walls were about 2ft thick and that was only for a week!
If it bleeds, I can kill it.

Was with 3 for many, many years & never had a problem with the signal. However should you have to call customer services :wall:.....that is a completely different story!!!!, I actually launched my phone one day. Thats why i have now moved to orange, they have also recently merged with t mobile, so i now get t mobile signal should i not get orange.

before you buy a dongle you ideally want to borrow a phone thats on the network your intending for the dongle and check to see if you recieve a 3g signal in the location where you will intend using the dongle most, its swings & roundabouts as to the network coverage in certain areas.
ive used a 3 network in a phone for 18 months & a 3 dongle for the same & never had a problem :wink:
WHY AINT I GOT AN ALL SINGING & ALL DANCING SIGNATURE LIKE BOXY & DRIFTY ?

I am on 3 and have never had an issue in the many many years of usage. The only place I cannot get a signal is at work as there is a TV transmitter inbetween work and the mobile phone antenna.
