I've got a naff Chinese dual sim phone and run VOD for 2G voice on my main number and have been running EE for data on the other SIM. EE PAYG is not great in terms of tariffs so I ordered up a 3 SIM as 321 looked better price wise. I used to be on 3 and it was good until the 2G fallback got turned off.
My impression is that in the South Hams, I get better 3G from 3 than I do from EE, having gone from one to the other. Randomly pulling my phone out and checking would be a good VOD signal and poorer EE 3G signal in terms of bars. Maybe down to the phone but I now find that the same test often shows a better 3 3G signal than VOD.
As they share a lot of the same masts, do 3 pump out more power than EE? In my experience, it seems that the 3 signal is generally better than EE's for 3G at least.
