Rather surprised by this one. I have pretty much stuck to o2 for years and presently use o2's Simplicity package on my iPhone 4. 3G availbility is flaky at most during my trip from home to work. This mostly frustrates me during my journey home as I like to read twitter.

For iPad 3G usage however I've also been using o2 service for £10 per month giving me a gig of data, more than enough for the tablet and general usage. As I carry this with me to work, I also go through the same 3G blackspots as I do with my phone.

So imagine my surprise when I bought a £20 for 3 months sim from 3 and received max bars this morning all the way to work. I am honestly very much surprised so far.
 
I forgot to state (im at work) earlier that I live in the Harrow, Middlesex area just outside London.

My journey to work takes me from Wealdstone-Harrow-South Harrow-Northolt. The latter two areas are pretty much 3G dead spots via o2 3G. It's just such a surprise when you look at how large a company o2 really are.
 
Westyfield, you seem to mirror the comments I've heard from some friends regarding o2 and 3. They have all said that 3's CS is poor, and I have experienced o2's, which I rate as very good. I've only used CS once though.

Today is pretty much the last straw with o2 for me. I've had either none, or very slow 3G for the past three days in our office.
