| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Strong UK coverage (99% 4G population) | Mid-range pricing — not cheapest, not fastest |
| Xtra Plans bundle entertainment at discount | Three/Vodafone merger creates uncertainty |
| Growing 5G network | Customer service ratings are mixed |
| EU roaming included | Out-of-contract rates increase |
| Good phone deals with trade-in | Some plans have data speed caps |
EE is faster. Three is cheaper for unlimited data. Vodafone is the middle ground — reliable coverage with entertainment bundle perks.
