Hey there. I'm coming up to start this September and i'm thinking about switching from orange over to virgin mobile. Does anyone know if the networks any good up there? (just to avoid minimum contract headaches later on)
Thanks.

I'm on Virgin atm, and the signal's pretty good. Can be a bit rubbish in some buildings but by and large it's decent. It's the same signal as T-Mobile, if that helps at all.

I've also been on the Virgin network the whole of my time at St Andrews and the service is pretty good. Service is better than the likes of O2 (in my opinion) if you are outside the town, countryside and stuff. They arent too expensive either which is good, and if your mates are all on virgin it is even cheaper, only 3p texts, and virgin to virgin texts were free all last summer.

I've been on Virgin for ... 5 or 6 years now.
It started off being fairly crap but it gets better and better. Anywhere I don't get signal neither does anyone else, so it's fine

I may be a pretty sad case but I don't write jokes in base 13

As long as you avoid Vodafone you're fine. O2's also really good and only loses signal in enclosed/underground places like the Union or the Cellar Bar.

All the networks as far as I'm aware are ok - though Orange tends to have a few blackspots in David Russell and in parts of Melville/New Hall boundary. That AMH and New Hall "no man's land" is also poor for T-Mobile.

I've just switched to Voda from Orange because the latter treated me like shit, despite being a customer of 9 years. Not sure what Voda is like in St A, but it's perfect at home and since I've graduated it doesn't matter anyway.

It's horrible. My friend couldn't get signal anywhere so was forced to switch, and Vodafone charged him £300+ for leaving his contract early.
