100% EDGE networks Europe

From my experience while travelling in Europe, I have found that while a 3G signal for internet mobile data is a very nice thing, a GPRS signal is hell. An EDGE signal however is a good compromise. It makes 'normal' internet usage possible.
That's the reason why I am keen to prefer a network with 100% EDGE coverage over a network with better 3G coverage with GPRS elsewhere.

Therefore I thought it would be good to list all the operators from the European countries with (almost) 100% EDGE coverage.

Here are the ones I know of:

Belgium: BASE
Germany: T-Mobile
France: Bouygues
Sweden: Telia
Italy: TIM
Switzerland: Swisscom and Sunrise
Lithouania: Omnitel
Estonia: EMT
Hungary: Pannon
Bulgaria: M-tel
Albania: Eagle Mobile*
