Have recently moved my data from EE to three, as it happens, as the coverage is so much better, particularly in and just North of Durham, and there's a lot less timing out happening. I have noticed that I often lose signal between Washington and Sunderland, though. Both disappear for a while just south of Teesside, on the A19. I wouldn't bother with EE at all, but it's the only provider with a steady 3G signal in my village.
I've had no EE signal at home for a few months up to a couple of weeks ago when it seems to have returned! Apparently they took a 2G mast down in the area in November (nice of them!), so why it gradually got worse after that I don't know, nor why it has now returned!
