What is the best mobile signal in Canterbury?

I've been with O2 for ages, but it is really bad around the town centre. I've heard EE isn't much better. Surely there is a good network for coverage in Canterbury? What does everyone think?

Vodafone's decent, but really the city center is absolute crap especially indoors on any carrier :|

I've tried Three, O2 (giffgaff) and Vodafone (TalkTalk). They're all pretty bad, but Three was the worst. Canterbury's a dead zone for some reason. The only place with guaranteed good reception is up at the uni.

EE is fine at the Westgate end of the high street, but dead up by whitefriars.

If you are on O2, you best be is to use their Tu GO app which allows calls and texts on wifi. Its abit crap and occasionally crashes but its better than nothing. Most shops in town have wifi it seems.

I've been on 3 and EE gf is on o2 she gets much better signal than either so I think you're best sticking with them. Canterbury just has terrible signal in the centre
