No MBNL operate a RAN (a radio access network) which all their customers can use. Each has their own frequency range and separate network.

O2/Vodafone will operate shared sites with completely separate radio facilities as far as has been reported. One company will service one half of the UK and the other will look after the other but both will have separate radio transmission at each site.

Crikey, I didn't think such an innocent question would trigger such a weird sequence of exchanges lol. I really have no favourite mobile network so won't get involved in the willy waving, it was just obvious that SOMETHING had happened to boost my internet from around 240kbps to 6mb! Thanks for the info.

PS I'm on the supposedly truly unlimited data deal from Talkmobile (got it with the crazy HTC One S £16/mth deal!). As the mobile internet is now faster than my home internet I may turn wifi off. But is the 'truly unlimited' Talkmobile deal really that or is there the dreaded FUP? TIA!
