Coverage analysis — LD8
No network wins Llandrindod Wells on coverage. All four score identically in Ofcom's measurements, across 85 addresses sampled in 6 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 Llandrindod Wells as a whole.
Ranked by Ofcom's overall score: EE 96, O2 96, Three 96, Vodafone 96. The spread between best and worst is 0 points, 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.

Choosing a network in Old Radnor
Every network reaches Old Radnor, Presteigne, Byton and Combe to the same standard in Ofcom's data, so coverage cannot pick one for you here — price and contract length can. Compare what each is charging, then check the exact street you live on before you commit, because indoor signal still varies where the area figures match.
