My current contract with o2 is about to expire, and was looking at another provider. I am intrested to hear what would be the best internet speed provider would be on a mobile phone. Three is claiming the best, can anyone confirm that?
Or is there a better provider out there

It rather depends where you are. In Thurso, Orange was ok. The last I heard 3 piggy-back Orange in this neck of the woods as they don't have any dedicated transmitter cells of their own.
I may be out of date as I haven't checked for 6 months or so, but back then the ONLY network in Caithness which provides 3G (high speed) mobile internet is O2, and only in Wick.

You might check out GiffGaff who use O2 as their backbone but are a fraction of the cost of O2.
