Three and Vodafone are merging!

The merger has been approved: https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.p...view-clears-vodafone-and-three-uk-merger.html

No, it hasn't. It's been approved after a security review, but the CMA is still to approve it.

If it did happen it would be very interesting to see how it would compare on overall signal to EE. I've been on Vodafone and EE networks over the last few contracts bouncing between and found EE overall to be better. Similar overall coverage but EE just faster. 3 are known to be very fast on 5g. I've found Vodafone don't seem to have much 5g where I am on the coast (south east).

If (IF) this was to go through, it would probably be good news for other current Voda users getting access to all the deals on three?

Or Three jack up their prices as a combined network will be better than O2 and EE. That’s precisely why the CMA will block it.

Edit: You are in cloud cuckoo land if you think this merger will benefit consumers wallets!

Vodafone-Three merger could get green light, watchdog says

It wants commitments on prices and 5G if the creation of the UK's biggest mobile network is to go ahead.

I'm sure pinky promises will be upheld
