Which mobile network are you on and why?

I've been with Three for many years now, currently on a contract as I wanted the HTC One when it first came out. Three for me are by far the best network, I am a heavy data user, I stream my music from Google Music and watch lots of videos etc. All you can eat data is brilliant. And I've used over 10GB in a day with no problems (crummy Virgin Fibre was being repaired).

I find 4G in Edinburgh to be extremely quick, however is limited in coverage until next year. However the majority of cities are covered by DC-HSPDA which is pretty quick as well.

At the end of the day however, all networks operate within a bandwidth for each cell tower, this is carved up between all the users. The more users the slower the service. Hence the more popular providers can not keep up with Threes speeds.

Also Three offer Feel at Home, which gives you data and minutes etc abroad (including USA) a greatly useful service of which I am very thankful for. No more nasty surprises on your bill when you get home.
