So no Three network in your area?

According to the map at
http://www.three.co.uk/personal/cove...rageChecker.do
it is not here but about a mile away which makes me wonder if it would be
worth trying with an antenna.

A mile should be OK if there isn't too much in-between

According to the map he
http://maps.vodafone.co.uk/coveragev...b/default.aspx
It is miles and miles away. (This presumably refers to Vodafone 3G as
opposed to 3 3G in the first map)

Are your tests with Voda and T Mobile on 2g or 3g?

2G

For mobile broadband you need 3g on any network,
preferably 3.5g with a turbo modem.

Well I'm glad to have discovered that before tying myself into a contract
with Vodafone who must surely be lying through their teeth he

Where they say:

"Superfast and reliable ¡V Our fantastic coverage in the UK means you can
enjoy warp speed mobile broadband wherever you get a Vodafone signal."

- I have a good Vodafone signal here and yet if you are correct (and I
assume you are), I can't get mobile broadband at at all.

That's on Voda 3G
You need to borrow a 3g phone and set it to manual network
to get an idea of the 3g networks available there

Can you keep your questions/answers shorter, and don't post in HTML
