Comparing EE, Vodafone, O2 and Three across 5G · 4G · 3G for the Worcester (WR) postcode area. Use the scanner below to check your exact postcode.
Ofcom measures EE, O2, Three and Vodafone within 1 point in Worcester (WR), so no network wins here on coverage. Pick on price — then check your own postcode, because indoor signal still varies street by street.
No network wins Worcester on coverage. All four are within 1 point of each other in Ofcom's measurements, across 871 addresses sampled in 54 postcodes. On a difference that small, EE, O2, Three and Vodafone will all work here — so choose on price, contract length and roaming, not on a coverage map. Coverage only becomes the deciding factor once you leave built-up areas, and it still varies street by street indoors: check your own postcode below to see the measurement for your address rather than for Worcester as a whole.
Ranked by Ofcom's overall score: Vodafone 100, EE 99, O2 99, Three 99. The spread between best and worst is 1 point, which is inside the margin where a coverage figure stops being a useful tiebreak. Ofcom's data describes outdoor signal across sampled addresses; it cannot tell you how any of them behave inside your own building.
These scores for Worcester are Ofcom's own measurements, taken from the Ofcom Mobile Coverage API (May 2025 data) across 871 addresses in 54 postcodes. They describe outdoor signal at sampled addresses across the whole of Worcester; signal inside a specific building, and on a specific street, can differ from the area figure.
Every network clears the bar in the WR postcode area, so the honest advice is to stop comparing coverage maps and start comparing prices — the difference between the cheapest and dearest plan will dwarf a 1-point coverage gap. Check your own postcode above first: indoor signal varies street by street even where the area figures match.
