so my contract with Three is coming to an end next month and I hav been using a t mobile pay as you go sim for the last week just to test out of there is a better signal there or not, and there does actually appear to be.

The entire north side of my town centre, Three signal is almost none existant and I've been told work is planned on a new mast in the area, but seems on my t mobile phone, in the same area there are 5 bars on the phone, where as on Three there is 0 or 1 bar. I thought they were in a sharing agreement, since Orange is now part of EE, shouldn't all these masts be being shared.

Also I believe Orange is able to use the Three masts which are being shared with T-Mobile, so how comes Three doesn't seem to be getting the same signal quality?
