Which network for best 4G performance?
Discussion
Thank you, that's very informative. I have poor reception on Orange's network so I cannot see WE being much if any better. They also want to charge me the national debt of a small country to swap over despite me being in the qualifying period of my contract.
Vodafone look decent value, 4gb of 4g, Sony Z2 for £35 on CPW. No one I have found can touch that.

Just been doing some sums. EE seem more expensive than anyone else, but they also have the most bands available to them. By comparison, O2 and Tesco are quite cheap, but only have some of the 800mhz band available to them. EE have 4G where I live, where I work and in my home town. Tesco / O2 only have it where I work and my home town.
4GB on EE is £38.99 a month with a free Sony Z2 (£935.76 over 24 months)
3GB on Tesco is £36 a month with a free Sony Z2 (£864 over 24 months)
8GB on O2 SIM only is £20 a month (£240 over 12 months, plus £400 for the phone equals £640, or £880 over 24 months)
I can get a Z2 for £400 from Amazon.
The Z3 from CPW is Pre order at £550, so with the O2 SIM only plan, thats £1030 over 24 months.
So on paper going by price the SIM only deal and the SIM free phone is the cheaper option for 12 months, but not over the longer term, but for £8 a year I get 5GB of data more a month. It then becomes a case of do I want to pay now for a phone, or over 24 months? I could go with an Oppo Find 7a and save even more (£80 over the SIM free phone so net is £800 over 24 months).
OR, I can wait for Sony Z3 to come out and get that on the same deal with EE as for the Z2.
It's difficult to choose as my default choice has always been sticking with Orange. I've been an Orange customer for 15 years and only recently feel like leaving because of the poor network signal and performance.
Is 3/4GB enough? I aren't a heavy user, I've used less than 300mb of my 2GB 3G allowance this month, and my billing date is 6 days away.
