O2 say it's fixed but nevertheless it's worry!

With the cr*p signal around here, they'd be lucky to pick up any calls!  As per usual, just when I needed to make a call quickly this afternoon, no bloody signal.   :mad:

Same here, its probably looking like Orange/EE?T-Mobile for a move, not touching 3 for voice calls fine for data though. Vodafone apart from being tax cheats are to expensive.

Best signal around where I work and live is O2 so that limits me to O2, Giffgaff and Tesco Mobile.

O2 used to be the best around here too.  I don't know what's happened, or whether the others would be any better.  Perhaps there's just too much data floating about in the air these days.  :dunno:

I wanted to move to Talk Mobile as the rates work out better for my patterns of use but round home its hopeless.

Would have been happy to add a Sure signal but that only supports Vodafone dispite Talk Mobile being a JV between Voda and Carphone Warehouse.

I've tried sims from all 4 networks at home, they all give a poor signal, the joys of living on the edge of the forest.

MK was modelled on being 'the city in the forest'

We certainly have enough trees.

O2 used to be cellnet, they and Vodafone were the first networks used for Mobiles in cars really not handhelds. Orange were designed more for the personal user and till sold off years back were great, the thing is Orange have a good 3G network and enough capacity to add 4G at 1800Mhz. O2 and Voda will have to bid for new frequencies, so new handsets, and tbh O2 didn't really push the 3G takeup like the rest did.  :( Where I live Vodafone or Orange and 3 have the best coverage for 3G HSPA+ which is good enough for me speed wise. O2 is still 2G  >:(
