Slow internet
I've just checked the 3UK site for your postcode, and all seems to be ok, with 4G coverage being good. This type of data may not be totally up to date.
What would be better would be using the "Mast data" app, which will provide you up-to-date signal strength at the time of use (for your SIM). It would also give you data for other networks in your area and where the signal is strong or not.
It is always worth checking not only network coverage, but also the signal strength before making the leap to a different network. It usually saves a lot of hassle, expense and disappointment.

Thanks but not even going to bother, I’ve just written a nice long message for it to come up with a box asking me to complete a survey and lost My message 🤦🏻♂️ I’m getting 0.38 Mbps and 0.05 Mbps

Thanks for giving up on yourself.
I've taken the time to give good advice, it's no skin off my nose if you don't want to do things for yourself.
Good luck.

How I given up on myself 🙄 I’ve given up on smarty who use three, I’ve had three in the past and was ok but ok been at home but not at work.
In the end I came out of contract and three agreed on this because the service was not there but it was a 3 month process back and forth messages and phone calls but seems to have got worse over the years because now at home the service is a joke at best.
I’ve got better things to be doing then chasing up slow internet you can’t even use, yes my postcode came up with good 4g but your good and my goods clearly totally different.
0.38 and 0.05 speeds is dail up speeds not 4g
I’ve tried to get an app for mask data and nothings showing up on the App Store, nor a google search after 10-15 mins of looking I have given up.
it’s also no skin of my nose I’m only posting here so others can see how iffy three network is, I can switch to EE because I’ve been speaking with my neighbour just this evening and he’s getting worse case 40 Mbps at home.
So yeah if people have issues and move on then it will be skin off your nose, I only found smarty because it came up on Facebook feeds with good reviews.
