All networks suffer from contention ratios from time-to-time and it's worth buying a few cheap sims from the major networks to test their performance. I moved fromm EE to 3 but should have gone to Vodafone.
One of the main problems, in my opinion, is that the networks are too successful selling home and business broadband and cannot install new capacity fast enough.

Was in central london yesterday was very busy area and my partners 4G on EE worked perfectly, I couldn’t load a thing so I think 3 have major issues and have done for a long time, wish they wouldn’t be ignorant about it too and admit it

Exactly just be honest instead of the clap trap we are fixing a problem in your area ( 4 months so far where I live)

This is my theory too - overselling broadband at the expense of mobile customers.

>>> Does anyone else notice data doesn’t work in busy areas such as London and large events?
Yes.

But bear in mind that this problem applies to all networks and not just Three. For example, at Glastonbury, reports suggested that Vodaphone held up best, followed by Three, followed by EE and with O2 virtually unusable. But apparently this varied across the site and even depending on the devices that folks were utilising. .
Vodaphone's top spot was not surprising as they are a main sponsor of Glastonbury.

It just means that Vodafone provided more temporary equipment than the other companies.
