What is the difference between 3G mobile broadband coverage and Tesco mobile phone coverage?

3G mobile broadband is a faster network allowing you to browse the internet and download applications. It is a more complex, expensive, technical network and is therefore more difficult to build good coverage as a consequence. Tesco mobile coverage relies on 1G and 2G networks, allowing users to make telephone calls and send text messages across networks. It's a lot easier to build up good network coverage on 1G and 2G networks.
