Woohoo , the one mobile network that actually provides good data packages can expand.... Woohoo....

Yeah they didn't really think of the future when they came up with that name did they?

Other reports have it that while the sale is agreed, it is not to be finalised until Sept '13. So Three might well be installing equipment, but they cannot make use of it if these other reports are correct.

+1 - even though I'm now an ex-customer (billing and support issues made me want to leave) I'm going to agree wholeheartedly. Three, whatever their faults, are imho the only one of the carriers that actually "gets" the way a smartphone should be used.

T-Mobile tries to run them a close 2nd, but then falls back to doing stupid s**t like the recent backsliding on the Full Monty plan. Idiots!

If their 4G service has better reach than the 3G service did a couple of months back, then I might consider moving back to them when my T-Mobile contract ends. Especially if they did something about the shockingly bad customer "support", (including giving my local store a course on how to deal with customers properly).
