I have poor coverage in my house and was previously offered a home signal box which I turned down, opting to use Three In Touch while it was in beta as I was told the signal problems in my area would be fixed in about a month.
Three just quotes dates, the dates come, nothing happens. The signal in my area has not changed, if anything it's worse. I told them I'd like to take them up on their offer of a home signal box today, they told me that the criteria for getting one has changed and I must upgrade my contract to be eligible to get one. I'm on the £12.90 1 month rolling 200 mins/5000texts/ayce data. By "upgrading", I'd be locked into a 12 month contract, paying more money for the same allowances. How about no.
A few months back they were happy to give me a home signal box and it wasn't even this bad. Now I'm dropping to no signal pretty often, the network is extremely congested and data speeds are extremely poor. EE in the same spot gives me around 25mpbs 4G or 6-8mbps 3G. On Three I'm lucky to get 5mbps 4G and 1mbps 3G.
I don't mind the 5mpbs 4G, but the signal is too poor to stay connected. Maybe 800MHz will fix this, but how long will we have to wait?
