Hie guys i have already used the search function no luck, i have a contract with 3uk and orange uk and my question is based on your experiences which between the 2 offeres best hsdpa coverege or perhaps point me were i can get the right information because asking the customer services of these 2 networks is as frustrating as symbian signed at the moment thanx
Best hsdpa or 3g coverage
Maybe these will help.

thanx a lot mate
I no it depends on your area but over here were I live 3 were the 1st network to cover us with 3g....and they still are the only one. I moved over to orange from 3 so I could get the n95 with a good deal but the 3 network is a lot better than orange. i asked them when they planned to have 3g coverage and they said not for a few years because they were rolling it out to the more higher populated areas first...thats fair isn't it. Now 3 have hspda in are area and no other networks do. Orange has been a big disappointment, Stay away from them.

yeh thats true what you are sayin and now i might just stay with 3 because they have heard this 3g thing for a while and with them intergrating with t mobile{when i dont know} that would be good,the thing with orange is they have just rolled out an add on that gives 250mb of data with price plans over �45,00 and our lass is on orange and they have good talk plans but yeh i must admit there 3g coverage is crap because when i visited a mate for the whole weekend i just couldnt conect to the net on my phone were he stays i wonder what everyone else has experienced between them 2 networks

if you even using the 3g for internet browing then stay with 3 is you get the x series add on you get unlimited usage (1gb) for only �5 a month! Orange has theres for �8. Another thing you might want to know if you use message reports with 3 they are free but with orange they cost you 1p! I found this out to hard way after using 500 txts with reports on!
Just for info, the Orange £8pm 'Unlimited' data bundle is limited to 30mb...... if you want 3Gb, then you will have to cough up £30pm.
The same thing from Three is about £10pm.

No aparently they hav jus changed their bundles and our lass foundout by luck am not surprised not many people are aware of it dont know why they dont publisize it but aparently now with any of orange,s 45pound and ova tarif you can have the anytime 250mb anytime data for free and thats what my wife has and this started 1st of march 2008 but try and get that advice from there customer care staff and yu will soon realise yu have more chances of geting the info from Fred Flinstones than them
