looked at my area and it says; no 3G and low 2G, previously it said; very good 3G and excellent 2G

Yeah, I thought they seemed a bit Irish too for my area. I was trying to figure out whether they were reflecting future decommissioning of masts. Hope not.

Maybe an update on decommissioning masts.

What really annoys me is that no matter what postcode you type in/if any. if you scroll down from the coverage checker it will say-

GREAT, YOU CAN GET SUPERFAST 4GEE

How misleading is that when you haven't even typed in a postcode and even if you do and it has no 4G coverage it still says it just below. crazy.

hope not too, as my phone will be completly useless to me at home, they removed an orange mast in my next town and the 2G signal is awful now

they've got everything covered outside the town where noone lives but crap coverage in the town same as the town of ruthin last night was, friend on voda full 2g signal, me zero 2g or 3g inside, yet the coverage map says its 'very good'

lots of places seem to have down graded coverage now and on the map, why would they do this!

The next village has had it's Orange mast removed, based on the new maps. The coverage has gone from Good to Low. I'm about to move over to EE powered Virgin, so I'll report back!

I guess there is a T-Mobile mast there though. There does not need to be both Orange and T-Mobile masts in one place since phones only need one of either O or T to work now.

It's up on a Microwave site in the hills a few miles away. Unfortunately there's another hill between it and the Village! T-Mob was always poor there, and I suppose we're back to it. O2 and 3 are still on the tower in the village.
