Didn't anyone watch Coach Trip? I thought that was a pretty direct clue to his name without mentioning it?

Hahaha Devon. You've replaced one mistake with another (and there are at least another two in the same sentence)! This lack of prectrum that O2 suffer from sounds like a serious medical condition.

Anyway in the spirit of the Vodafone forum, I've been authorised to answer your post on behalf of the community champions as follows.

Its started. At my mates house in Fleet, where for the last 18months he has had almost no signal for EE (since old Orange mast turned off in his road), where Vodafone and O2 also had no signal - things changed today.

Took my iPhone 6 round and was amazed to find I had 4G (three or four 'blobs') everywhere in his flat. Speedtest.net managed 18mbps download and 1.1mbps upload. Turning off 4G gave awful 3G, but turning off 3G gave very very good 2G.

I can only assume CTIL has arrived and upgraded a relatively near mast to 800mhz 4G with strong 900mhz 2G with CSFB to 2G enabled. Probably means O2 is now workable.

Three and EE are useless here, and my mate is an EE customer due to WiFi calling, and only just signed up for a 12month SIM only deal - but if EE's 800 doesn't make similar benefits, he may switch to Vodafone.

Pretty sure nobody here would have said that 2 months ago, nevermind 1. :-/

Look, you know I don't normally type like that.
I'm Devon's chief grammar Nazi for Christ's sake.
My excuse is I'm trying to do dry January but I have an awful lot of alcohol to get rid of and well, you can't just throw it away can you?
I think that post was pretty good after a quarter of a bottle of Jack.
I mean OK, Lemmy managed 1 bottle a day for fourty years + the fags and then went and got brain cancer (just to completely piss off the health Nazis), good call, good man, RIP!
Give me a little slack.....

I think we need to help VOD, not knock them. They obviously can't work out their own coverage. Maybe folk better at photoshop or whatever could do a better job and we could put together a proper VOD 3G map for them and then they could use it and be very happy.

If you give me a minute or two I'll try and do it for the nationwide 3G map. And I'll do area requests if this is wanted.
moox

I'd argue that Vodafone should modify their map to show where the 3G really works.

This would omit much of Mid Cornwall, where VF spared no expense to install 900Mhz 3G equipment (probably to get OFCOM to end their threat of sanctions for not meeting coverage obligations) but never bothered to upgrade the backhaul, thus providing a 20th century experience with 21st century technology. Power To You.

No they are not Giff Gaff because Giff Gaff are the same.
Here is their map.
Oh and ignore the orange bits, apparently it hardly works in the blue bits.
Once again, as per my post on the Vod forum, one monopole in Kingsbridge.
That's it.

I did, sorry I've got a habit of doing that. I thought of something better, I'm not the brightest spark when it comes to quick wit, so forums are perfect because I can usually get away with the edit window!

Yes please. Jolly well done.
South Devon. Part of Dartmoor and below. You can include Plymouth and Torbay (west and east) but there are an awful lot of us in between.....
Then if anyone wants to know where that splodge of 3G/4G is near Kingsbridge, it's here.

Oh great. Well we'll all move to London, Birmingham, Manchester or Edinburgh shall we Vodafone?
Priceless!

I saw that post that you made on the EE thread and why can't Vodafone provide 3G to Totnes?

Totnes is quite a large town, I'd say - somewhere that deserves to have at least 3G. EDGE won't do it, as a theoretical max of 220k is pretty useless for anything Internet based.

I've noticed that both O2 and Vodafone have barely any 3G in South Devon; when are CTIL going to come along and improve things down there?

And btw, don't you mean it'll only work in the blue bits, or it won't work in the orange bits?

Oh dear, that does look rather shameful doesn't it

Why didn't Vodafone invest in 3G like MBNL did? Voda (and O2) could have excellent 3G if they'd have rolled it out properly, and 900MHz would have improved things even more.

Nah, it's so crap down here it doesn't work anywhere.
Actually I think O2 in Totnes is 2100 so it probably works a bit. But none of the 3G900 does.
I was in Morrisons in Totnes with my cousin who's on Vodafone. She was trying to redeem some voucher or some crap (she's mental about vouchers, yeah, whatever).
Full Vodafone EDGE and no data. Nothing. We rebooted iPhone... nothing!
She had to use my iPhone 6 on EE.
Same mast, 3-4 bars 3G, about 12 meg.

When you also think that that map is showing a lot of 3G900 and most of the time no one can get anything out of it apart from voice.
