Three is fine. Been with them for years. I'm grandfathered into an old plan with enough data for my needs, tethering, unlimited calls and texts and free global roaming.
I only ever have signal problems in places the other networks also have problems.
This was certainly true for many years with their awful 4G network. But their 5G network is excellent if you are in an area with good coverage.
I’ve regularly seen over 800 Mbps in London, consistently faster than any of the other networks.
(On the other hand, I wouldn’t pick Three if you value good and consistent coverage. But if you are using it from a fixed location with a good 5G signal, it’s great)
I picked three because they had free EU data roaming before it was the law. Now it is not the law anymore it seems that they no longer provide it to new customers (or those that made the mistake to "upgrade"), but so far I have been grandfathered in. I'll switch the moment is no longer the case.
Well you can get a ham radio license, spend $1500 on a basic radio and antenna and accessories, erect it in your garden, get on air and feel the joy of open communications all over the globe.
Or more realistically get blasted by people on contests or doing DX, hear about numerous health problems and waltz into casual racism, homophobia and sexism. The last bastion is CW (morse) where it's too much effort to be an asshole.
Well established UK Wholesale operator Simwood had not one but TWO very good goes at establishing an independent low-level UK network (or at least as low-level as is possible, they wanted to become as close as was humanly possible to a full MNO).
They ended up hitting obstacle after obstacle in the usual protection racket vicious circle between so-called regulator OFCOM and the incumbent operators. IIRC they encountered difficulties at every step, be it obtaining an independent allocation of mobile numbers or anything else.
In the end, they threw in the towel on the mobile project because they refused to be "just another" MVNO reselling someone else's rebranded service.

> if you are in an area with good coverage
In my experience, this is a huge caveat.

I have complaints about Three but coverage is not really one of them.
