I'm wondering this as due to the general low levels of investments in 3g over the years and the fact that they use a lower frequency for 2g and are doing largely for 4g meaning they tend to have fewer masts covering larger areas?
I know Vodafone have 2600mhz but if they don't have enough masts in the area to spread the load surely the higher numbers will start to cause problems soon?”

Exactly and I think this is the case now in the city centres as its all grinding to a hault at busy times.
