No data and sporadic phone signal. Seemingly getting attended to at the highest priority. Here's me thinking my local mast was getting the 4g treatment. Oh well.

Not if it was a core network issue - these are completely separate.
True that is a good point.
I know! at least o2 do update theres!!!
Don't try and turn this into an O2 topic everyone agrees O2 has good customer service just an rubbish network for everything else.
Took them (o2) 2 hours to update their website/status page when they had the last two big outages! Status pages are only good if the details filter through quick enough. Pointless otherwise, unless your network is down for several hours.
EE could do better though, especially for the planned upgrades etc.
Three and EE have a RAN share, which is the Radio Access Network. That has lots of fault tolerance built in like 16 distributed aggregation points etc.
The back end network, HLR, MSC / NSS, any proxies, filtering, gateway and all the rest is separate.
Same for Three could be better saying which areas are getting upgraded when. Hopefully when they release 4G they get a better coverage checker program I find the colour difference hard to tell.
Agreed, very unlikely to see anything wipe out Three & EE at the same time especially countywide or nationwide. One or two masts yes (local power issue, mast downed by car crash, or digging up the backhaul) but thats about it.
Good to see you know your stuff
Edit: Just looked on twitter, loads of complaints about signal issues.
You have to either phone (which will get nowhere as you'll just be speaking to a rep who won't/can't do anything) or write a letter! I'm not wasting postage when they probably won't even do anything about it.
