3 network Internet outage?
BanjoString

Hi all,
Had the same problem for one day last week.
My signal and Internet works great till I get to work, which is in willesden junction, then as soon as I get there I have no access to any Internet even though it states 3G at the top next to my signal bars.
Yesterday was fine but same again today.
As soon as I leave the area I get a load of emails come through and twitter/Facebook works.
I can still make calls and send texts but not picture messages.
As I said it's only been a few days here and there but it's starting to bug me now.
If it helps I'm using a iPhone 4
Has anyone else been having this trouble?
Many thanks
Bobby

I've had similar issues here. Normally turning mobile data off and on again clears the issue for me. I'm running iOS 5 beta on my iPhone so wasn't sure if it was an issue down to that or a problem with 3 (3 did say on their twitter last week a mast near me was having problems).

The problem seems to arise for me if I drop 3G signal onto orange's 2G and then come back onto 3G signal

I had issues with 3 Mobile Broadband from 7pm, when I got no service. I've moved my dongle using my extension lead which has resolved some of the problems, but only getting 3 out of 5 bars when I normally have 5.

Fine here, a solid 5 bars as usual, mind you I can see the mast out of the window..

The data issue seems to have been resolved here. 3 told me they were doing some maintenance work in my area.
