Mobile Data/Signal

Just returned from Spain and there connection and speeds or really good.Mobile data all over never drops below 20mbps even inland rural areas.Back in UK in York cannot even get a signal even in Leeds only getting 1-5 mbps why is UK so bad?Dont get me started on 5 G when 3 and 4 is dire.

Which network? There are 4 physical networks, try all of them. If you are using a virtual provider (Tesco, Virgin Mobile, ID mobile etc) then try the real networks.

At home, I can get 70mbps from EE, and 30mbps from Vodafone, but only 10 or 15 mbps from Three. But moving to the other end of my (long) road, the whole thing changes, and Vodafone can provide over 90mbps, and EE only 40mbps.

If you have an unlocked phone get prepay SIMs from them all:
* EE
* Three
* Vodafone
* O2

Prepay SIMs are often in petrol stations for £1 without any credit, will show if you have a signal. Doing a speed test often requires credit, so cheapest way is to find a friend using the network you are interested in.

My daily work takes me to both Leeds and York.

With EE I can easily get 70--- 80Mbps in both cities using my iPhone x.

As quoted try each service provider and choose what's best for you.
