I just saw that ad last night.
"Unbeatable at connecting calls"
They can't possibly say that can they?
I thought they were the worst or second worst for connecting calls?
Half their gsm kit is still from 1990!

O2 was the worst, as they are using the half-rate codec a lot of the time - perhaps they just have too many users for their ancient 2G infrastructure.

Vodafone's 2G calls in Hampshire are fine, its just there is no data on 2G, so WhatsApp and iMessage become unusable, and 3G is just nowhere. :-/
