Anyone had a problem getting a 4g signal on the Three network?

My iPhone 6 is looking a bit long in the tooth (and I'm having problems with it) so I'm seriously thinking about picking up one of these.
The only things that worry me are:
Sound quality via wired headphones (and potentially bluetooth) and battery life.
I tested some music on a colleagues and it sounded very brittle and hollow compared to my iphone 6. I know there's a global eq for android, does this go anywhere towards getting a better sound? Has anyone used it, or felt the need to use it?
I'm not a power user, I rarely play games but am on whatsapp all day and listen to quite a lot of streaming music. My battery is normally on about 30-50% when I go to be on my iphone 6. Is the battery in the oneplus 3 comparable?
Also, I'm with three. A few people have mentioned problems with 4g. Is anyone on 3 not having problems?

Interesting, OP possibly trying to get their foot in the door with UK carriers ?

must be a financial reason for it
... there usually is!
It is most unlikely that they had the interests of their customers at heart!
I seem to feel Pete/Carl might be wanting to emulate Apple with their original exclusive deal with O2 way back.
not that ive noticed. LTE pops up regularly.
Wonder if you could reduce the screen on the OP3 to 1334x750 resolution at 326pp if it would make a performance difference.
Surely with the IP7 pushing less pixels around it gives it an advantage in performance?

Not as much as you might think.When i i had a LG G3 which had a 1440 x 2560 display some bright spark on XDA managed to reduce the resolution to 1080 but only got an extra 7 mins of battery life.
Not really, the 7 plus is just as fast.
Lol wow that's a first for OPO.Mine is faulty, it's currently in Germany getting repaired.
Hardly a first, they will replace/repair devices within the warranty period if it's a hardware failure.
The turnaround time is not very good though, 2-3 weeks.
Lots of problems with the Three network in general, they've gone downhill over the last year, data speeds in many city centers are just awful and 4G will likely be unstable, they call it congestion.
If you spend a lot of time in one of these dead zones you need to change network, it's not the fault of the phone.
