Vodafone, Orange, O2, T-Mobile?
What Mobile company are you with? and do you get a good signal around your part of Poundbury?
What companies would you avoid?

VirginMobile. I used to get a poor but good enough signal for the past few years but recently it's degraded until most calls aren't reaching me! I suspect it's to do with new buildings going up around me that have cut off that last bit of access. Are there plans for more masts that are nearer? You can use www.sitefinder.ofcom.org.uk/ to see where existing masts are. It seems there's one off near the Thomas Hardye playing fields, and another up the hill on the way into Dorchester by the old fire station. Neither are very close, especially with all the multi-story building we have going up in a continuous row along the old main road. It's no good Poundbury have broadband Internet if it hasn't got a mobile signal.

The Hardye one is T-Mobile (used by Virgin), the old fire station is O2. There is also a Vodaphone mast way off to the west past MacDonalds at Monkey's Jump roundabout.

I just had to cancel a new contract with Orange as the signal was so bad they said and it shows on their coverage maps that it should have been really good I feel sorry for the staff in the Orange shop in Dorchester really They were very helpful and friendly, but the system was letting them down. Gone on to O2 now and that seems fine Vodafone seems ok thats was who I was with last, but they have been slow getting the iPhone so I was off!
