Coverage checker has been updated on O2. 4G coverage in the Scottish central belt now extends most of the way between Edinburgh and Glasgow:
http://qasdfdsaq.com/images/coverage...scot-14-02.png Seems to be overtaking EE now: http://qasdfdsaq.com/images/coverage...scot-14-02.png Also made a montage (excuse the crappy mspaint copy-paste job) of coverage since launch: August '13-ish September '13-ish October '13-ish November '13-ish December '13-ish January '14-ish February '14-ish Also 3G coverage has improved a little too: August '13-ish February '14-ish |

Out of curiosity, how do you actually make these? That 3G coverage one must be time consuming.

Is it not screenshots taken from the O2 coverage map and then stitched together to make a larger image?

Done that way it would take ages!

But the O2 map doesn't exactly let you zoom out. So the amount of time it takes must be....

O2 still renders the 3G and 4G maps at the same (national) scales as the 2G map. You just have to figure out how to access them. |

Has there been an ebola breakout in Bristol or something? I would have thought that would be one of the first batch of cities you would deploy 4G to.

I've noticed a big improvement on O2's 4G in Glasgow with more masts now operating on 4G, previously I would typically have 2 bars on my commute now getting 4 (full bars) most of the way.

As usual the South West is being neglected for 4G rollout, except if you're on EE of course. Their network is becoming saturated here so speeds are slowing down - sigh I really hate people sometimes...

I'd like to experience Vodafone 3G where i live, never mind 4G.
Vodafone called me a couple of weeks ago asking me to upgrade to a 4G account i simply told them there isn't any 3G and no plans for 4G here so i saw no point. "Ah yes, you're area is due to upgraded by november!" He said, cheerily. I just laughed... "You guys said that last year as well... it didn't happen..." .. the call ended about then.. |

Although since my last post the 4G in Rainham seem to be having problems maybe some one who works in the industry here can help, im using network signal info, on some recently updated sites my phone logs on to 4G but as i get closer to the site suddenly it boots me off and im left with no signal, i cant get the 4G back even trying to force it using androids hidden engineering menu, even right under the offending mast. eventually my phone either reverts to 3G from the same site or back to 4G from a different site once the faulty one is no longer the strongest
, this is only happening in maidstone and rainham where o2 have built the network, i have no probs anywhere in south London where voda did the install

Sounds like the new ones are still operator barred, I.e. Transmitting but not available for public use.

For the last few days, my iPhone 5s on O2 has been picking up 4G in the Gosport area, So I'm guessing that 4G is now available in Portsmouth for those of us on O2...
