Mobile operator in the UK

Hey there! Can you please advise me on what mobile operator is better in the UK? Which do you personally use and are u satisfied with this? I'm an international student and have zero idea about operators here. The internet coverage and speed are important rather than calls and/or sms. Thx

EE is bad. O2 is okay but can be slow. I've heard Tesco Mobile is alright, but I use Asda Mobile and its pretty fast (faster than my friends' O2) and very cheap.

Tesco use O2, so they are the same thing.. Asda uses Vodafones network

Three use Vodafone networks and I find they have very good coverage on average as well as being an affordable option :smile:
