Olympic Coverage
With the Olympics looming and the influx of athletes, visitors and journalists, the strain on all mobile phone networks in the UK will be at it's peak.

Can we report good and bad feedback on this thread - including coverage and capacity problems, location/venue and the network.

Lets just hope we don't have any meltdowns.

Regards

Voda & Orange currently giving good speeds and coverage is what i'd expect for London.

I was in Stratford on Monday and found T-Mobile and Orange 2G data were sluggish or not working.

Phone calls were fine though.

Three is fine throughout.
