Hi  ​@andewhite  and ​@L0rdvega  please see this official update from Vodafone - VodafoneThree begins a new era of connectivity for the UK

I am fully aware of the merger! I’ve known about the merger since December of last year as I was quite closely following it on ISPR

Whereabouts is this network cell sharing news been published, ​@L0rdvega

Although Vodafone UK and Three UK have merged, customers of MVNO businesses like iD Mobile may not see any benefits. 

They’re not allowed to disallow MVNO connections on the new network

People on ID mobile are noticing new network access happening in their area, that they didn’t have before, mainly B20 at 15Mhz

Perhaps because of the “Within just two weeks, through sharing of combined spectrum, 7 million Three and SMARTY customers will receive a 20% average speed boost on 4G.” statement from VodafoneThree - although news item doesn’t appear to mention other MVNO companies.

NVMO’s should be given access, it doesn’t mention it there as Smarty is owned by Three
