I was using 3 for years until this year when suddenly i've been having hardly any reception indoors and outdoors and many calls just going to voicemail, also I found after the network sharing and after 3's customer base shot up, the internet is quite slow and keeps cutting out........annoying! The same happens on my flat mates T-Mobile line and as for Orange, it has always been bad.
Just think the whole Orange and T-Mobile merger as well as the network sharing with 3 is mad! Nearly 35 Million users will be using that.
I don't know whose idea it was to approve that merger, but I can see job losses on the way, an empty Orange shop and a busy T-Mobile shop in Camden within metres away can see closure written all over it, in some places i've seen new Everything Everywhere shops selling both T-Mobile,Orange and Orange Home products.
When I heard that Deutsche Telekom wanted to exit the UK mobile industry, and heard a rumour that 3 could be a possible bidder, I was hoping for that to happen as it answers all of 3's network coverage issues both 3G and 2G and operating costs, but Deutsche Telekom could not find a suitable buyer for the price it wanted for T-Mobile UK, that is why they merged with Orange.
In a year or two, I will be expecting Everything Everywhere to begin scrapping either one or both of the T-Mobile and Orange brands, as more people become familiar with the Everything Everywhere name, I wouldn't be surprised if they use that.
I also think Hutchison 3G will exit the UK mobile industry if they do not get a big enough slice of 4G spectrum, Everything Everywhere,Vodafone,O2,UK Broadband,3 and possibly BT will all be bidding for 4G licences.
Licences which will be very costly and no doubt will be passed on to us. Ofcom has also changed its proposal to make sure every network has a fair slice meaning 3 will easily be pushed out leaving us with just 3 networks to chose from. UK Broadband will not be like a mobile network operator but more of a wholesaler to other providers.
