Being rural doesn't mean a lot unless rural means somewhere like the Scottish Highlands.
I'm in a predominantly rural part of the country. EE and 3 are untouchable for 3G coverage, and EE alone for 4G. No 3/Vodafone/O2 4G coverage for some distance, and Vodafone/O2 here is more likely to give your crappy GPRS.
I don't agree about Vodafone's 3G performance. It's like going back to 2003 compared to the superb speeds of EE-3. Even in a town or city it's nowhere near as good - as if the backhaul isn't up to it
YMMV of course
