Use the Ofcom Sitefinder to check where the 3G Transmitters are in the S.E Manchester area, visit the link below, double click on the UK map, then enter your postcode. This will zoom the map into your area,, the transmitters or base stations show up as blue triangles, double-clicking on a blue triangle will show the name of the operator (ie. T-Mobile, Orange, Three, Vodafone, O2, Virgin, etc) plus other details about the height and power output of the antenna, and the type of transmission. This will either be GSM or UMTS.

For mobile broadband internet (3G, or 3G plus, or HSDPA) you need a UMTS transmitter, choose the operator who has a base station closest to your location.

The Ofcom website may not show all the operators in your area, their website is updated every 3 months.
