What I wrote are facts about their network. 3 also used to have much worse coverage than it has had since about mid 2010. It used to be horrendous 5 or 6 years ago. What the signal will be like near where you live is down to pot luck. There is plenty of information in the public domain about where the operators macrocells are and what signal coverage is like (aside from the operator's own maps). It varies a lot. My network O2 has a very poor signal in nearly all houses I've ever lived in. If you see where the towers are located it is clear why this is so. If you run an analysis on a smart phone and do some number crunching it becomes very clear. The signal varies so much. A few streets away the vodafone signal is very strong, but over this side of the city vodafone is fairly weak. Orange is strong around here but large chunks to the west have patchy areas. T mobile is strong most places but not all. The 3 signal round here is actually one of the best. It depends where you live, where the base stations are, what is in the way, what phone you have.

Thanks for that MY
There is limited information about signal strength about where I'm guessing you live. However you can see where the macrocells are here on Ofcom's site http://www.sitefinder.ofcom.org.uk/search and there are other sites too.
