Imagine or Three

Just moved into a new house and there's a Three mast 800m from the house, can literally see it. I'm getting 25MBit with 30ms ping with Three over 3G (and surprisingly only 12MBit over 4G).

I was told by Imagine I'm also in their catchment area and I'm 5.5km from the mast. Is it worth me getting them out for an install or should I stick with Three? If the speed test their engineer does isn't up to scratch can I say no at any number?

Also, has anyone ever gotten two Three broadband accounts for one home? Just as a solution for contention over the bandwidth within the same household.

If you go with Three, just get a PAYG phone SIM. If you sign up to a broadband contract with Three and the speed goes through the floor at peak times, it'll be hassle to get out of it after cooling off expires.
