Interesting Signal Problem

LostScott · 13-06-2010, 10:09

Guys I wonder if you can help with this one:

I regularly have to visit a new build office on business, whilst there I cannot get any sort of signal from o2 on my iphone or any other phone, employees at the office tell me that o2 are the only network with problems in the office.

Here's where it is strange, when I hook up my o2 mobile broadband it would not be possible to get a better signal and it is absolutely fantastic.

Am I missing something here

Do these other people have iPhones? The iPhone is not particularly sensitive in comparison to other equipment.

Tried various phones they all have problems with o2 signal not just iPhone yet mobile broadband is as strong a signal as you can get.

Vodafone
T-Mobile
3 etc all have signal no problem..strange, is it possible o2 are dedicating more "of something" I don't know what to mobile broadband customers?

find the masts on ofcom sitefinder, prob just a fluke of being in the right spot in the office. Maybe most of the people in the office have 2g phones, rather than smartphones? and a 3g mast is nearer
