Yes 3's coverage is bad. does not work inside modern office buildings very well.
Again its works in theory but not in practice.
I can tell you from personal expericene that 3 did not work inside an modern office building off Harcourt St in the city centre where as my previous meteor signal worked well.
Also it did not work in my home in a large urban area in Louth where as all other networks did.
Heres also what happens.
In theory when 3's 3g signal gets weak (and that is often) the phone automatically reverts to a 2g signal.
Simple task you'd think - except it can take 20 seconds whilst it toggles between signals in which event you drop your phone call.
Meteor is on a 2G network; so you are not comparing like with like.
In relation to the toggle from 3G to 2G when the signal is lost, '3' doesn't actually have a 2G network signal at all, so this toggle problem is likely to be more related to your phone.
I use Meteor and have been getting a constant 3G signal in the Dublin area since late last year.
As far as I know 3 uses Vodafone masts in areas where it has no coverage, e.g., I was using a 3 data modem in County Wexford recently and the window on the PC was showing me as connected via Vodafone GPRS. I would imagine a phone would share the same mast.
