Weird conversation with technical support last night, they said that the iPhone 6 (and I assume 6s) is "by" mid December for super voice but that the Plus models were end of December. Can't believe that but was couldn't get to the bottom of it with them.

I don't believe that as it should come with 9.2 Apple iPhone software is a different setup to Android devises. One gets they all get

How often does Three update their coverage map?

I'm not sure whether their 4G rollout has completely stalled in Scotland, or whether they just haven't updated the maps for ages?

Last update was mid November I think. The answer is probably stalled in Scotland.

This was an 800MHz speedtest I got today: http://pedroc.co.uk/3volte.png was actually very usable for mobile use. I was hoping for more with such specific requirements limiting device numbers

Thanks, I tried it in Chrome and it worked. The 800 map in particular is impressive, looking forward to the iPhone update which will give me access (if the priority thing lets me).

Thanks for doing these regularly. Always good to see how the roll out is progressing...

Still 22.1 but 4g reception is better since that update.

Had my fastest 4G speediest today at 72 down. Wrexham Town Centre on a (very) busy Saturday afternoon, Held steady for the few hours I was there too. Impressive!

I see my area is scheduled for maintenance again on the 8th.

I'd love to know what they're doing because there's a lot of it and yet no measurable increase in quality of service or coverage

Plenty of planned maintenance happening for my area and areas where I have family too, interestingly it's saying some work is happening tomorrow the 6th (a Sunday!)

Sandhurst, Surrey - 7th/9th/10th Dec
Goole, East Riding of Yorkshire - 6th/11th Dec
Ightham, Kent - 6th Dec

Yeah, I've got another day on the 10th of December. I think this is now nearly 10 days of work over the last 3 months. Hopefully this means that when I get the carrier update (still believe it will be a carrier update - nothing to do with iOS 9,2) then I will get 4G/some signal in a load more places. If not then I'm off after a very frustrating few days reception with Three.

West Yorkshire has 6th and 11th too

Yeah, it's saying 6th and 9th for a number of my test areas so I wouldn't pay too much attention to it.

3's showing two new 4G masts live in Hull, bringing their count up to four.

I feel the same! Had lots of work done and more planned in the coming days. However if this carrier update does not give me a decent signal then I'll be leaving Three I'm afraid. I just want to make a call and send a text sitting my sofa, don't think it's too much to ask.

there is a lot of work going on in and around my area, had some on the 1st and 2nd, and more to come on the 8th and 9th. Postcodes were for my home, town centre and my work place which is about 20 minutes drive away, all on the same dates.

Goodness Three's 4G coverage on the M3 is terrible!

Does anyone think all this maintenance is a major push for 800 before the iPhone carrier update?

And also to 'try' and hit 98% before the end of the year. I use the term try lightly
