Nearly all mobile network providers in the UK are good, offering fast internet speeds, and also they have all continued to improve daily. There may be many networks in the UK but the main network providers are four, namely; EE, O2, Three, and Vodafone. Other networks are known as Mobile virtual network operators, and they lease or purchase the data and telephone services from the four major ones I mentioned above to deliver the service to their customers.
Notwithstanding, I will still show you the top 10 mobile networks we have in the UK (United Kingdom). Read the below write-up carefully to know the best among them.

2. Tesco Mobile
This is a mobile virtual network and it makes use of 02 networks as we explained above. Tesco Mobile has more than 5 million customers and why they’re able to gain such is because their services are cheap which helps it’s users save a lot of money.
Despite being cheap it still offers one of the best services ever. Reports from Ofcom has shown that there were very few complaints from their customers. They only charge 25 pennies per minute.
3. EE
