Smarty network coverage checker vs the Ofcom version

I used the Smarty network coverage checker to check coverage at my address, according to that I should be wearing tin foil on my head as the signal and coverage is so strong. However upon checking the Ofcom mobile coverage checker for my address it is a completely different story, hardly any coverage. Anyone have any idea which checker is telling the truth ? Thanks

    Anthony_1218790​ That is going to depend upon exactly where you live. The signal can vary between streets if there is  building in the way etc.

    The only way to find out for sure is to get a sim and try it. You have a cooling off period if it does not work for you.
