I have been with O2 for years but if it becomes Three or another EE I would leave the network.
BT would have been safer hands for O2. Sky's involment now makes little odds.

What do you mean "becomes Three or another EE"?
You mean become an operator that actually invests in its network?
Your crazy! everyone knows o2 invest 1M a day in there network... Jokes!!!
It seems like a really silly question IMO.
What do you actually mean by "if it becomes Three or another EE"?
For me, I was with o2 (well technically Cellnet) since 1996 until 2012.
I joined EE in 2012 for their 4G services.
For the first 18 months or so, EE were fab, bar the odd few hours here and there when their data services went down.
But the last six months were a nightmare.
They'd randomly apply content locks, which then took 24 hours to remove.
I ended up with 4 contracts with EE (2 mobile, 2 iPad deals)
They couldn't bill correctly to save themselves.
Two months in a row, I had my services restricted because the direct debit went out ok, but they applied the whole to payment to one of the numbers, and not the rest of them, so on their systems it appeared I had failed to pay three accounts.
Their customer services assured me that things would be resolved, but they weren't.
I had to send them a copy of my BT bill showing them I had been on the phone to them for over an hour, when their records showed I hadn't made contact.
So I jumped backed to o2 last October, and it has been a joy.
But you're in Glasgow. Another DS correspondant in Glasgow constantly raved about how the O2 network in Glasgow was the model of perfection.
My only option then would be to move to EE as Vodafone have demonstrated similar non-existent investment to O2
If thats the case it must have been upgraded since I left in 2012 which I highly doubt, My misses left them due to calls dropping out and barely getting a signal when she was indoors
Exactly the opposite, if Three were to take over O2 I just might consider using them at some time in the future.
O2 as it is now? I'd rather use a call box...
So you are left with Vodafone as an option? Believe me you would be much better of with Three or EE than Vodafone.
This.
There is nothing about Three that i can say i liked. I was lied to for the whole contract about mast upgrades,congestion where i work (City EC4) made data unusable and the signal rarely penetrated my office walls. CS was okay to an extent but not a patch on any of my dealings with o2's CS which was few & far between.
I prefer everything about o2 and cant fault their 4G that works great for me. Yeah 3G is shit but i rarely go down to that.
The argument over who is best is a bit pointless. It will depend on individual experience and location. I use an MVNO on O2 and find the signal to be constant in all areas (Except North Norfolk:D} that I use.
I'd never use a contract for mobile phone so I'm never tied in and haven't felt the need to move from O2.
Ture... I joined 3 to get away from o2 if o2 users make it a poor service I will leave
O2+3 have the potential to be a strong competitor to voda and bt/ee -
At this point it makes sense to move to a better network like giffgaff who will have the best signal and customer service ever.
Looks like wavejock has hijacked an account to get back on the forum ;-).
This, for pretty much the same reasoning - the only networks that spend money on themselves here are Three and EE, and it shows.
My only option then would be a network on EE (but NOT EE itself, as I'd rather go without than deal with their toxic customer service again). As for Vodafone, well, the less said about their 'investment' the better.
