I did use Three for a while as a Mifi device at home and on the train when we moved back to the UK after we had our first baby back in 2011. As new clueless parents (who thought we were prepared but god no) I spent a lot of time researching English and Norwegian sites on breastfeeding and other baby matters.

And so many sites was blocked by Three. So frustrating when these were big mainstream baby and health sites but not necessarily in English.

Reception wise they were no worse than others, they all have big black spots in rural areas.

Worth mentioning Three soap bars and Three phones when tethered use different frequency allocations - so performance will not be comparable between the two. FWIW, I have a three soap bar and it works well in the main, whether in central London or out in the styx.

Absolutely no one is prepared, anyone who claims they are or seems to be are faking it.

I have seen "second time" parents (and recently someone on their third) who thought they were prepared, they had done it before ...
