Confirmation of 3’s status came in Ofcom’s Mostly Mobile report, which comprised a set of maps showing the level of coverage provided by suppliers right across the UK. By our estimation Orange ran them a close second.

It’s a great result for both parties and has provided them with the kind of PR that money can’t buy. As a result, you’d venture they’ll see an impressive sales bounce imminently.
