Well it's "network improvement" day where I live. I've got the bunting out and champagne on ice...... just looking for a little 4G love (NOT 800!).
I think every time I've checked there's been some sort of improvement, but I'm not sure what - as nothing has actually improved as far as I can tell. I can only assume that maybe EE is doing something which affects 3 via MBNL - so it's a network improvement, just not for the network I use |

Yep, I'm realistic but this must be about the 11th day of work since September. We must have the best maintained masts in the world!

Pole polishing? I thought it was the Super-pumping that did that!

It would be really useful if the Three coverage checker let you see the masts around you. It's not like Three can't give out this information, they do over the phone.

If you have time you can eventually work it out from signal levels. Large towns and cities are much harder obviously. I know where all the EE masts are in this area http://postimg.org/image/u4sy682v3/ Plymouth would be quite hard and I know where the big ones are in Torbay and Brixham but would have to seek out any smaller ones. Rural is dead easy though. |

Looks like Three's site is having problems. Home signal is completely dead atm by the looks of it too.

The equipment boxes at the base of the masts have emergency contact numbers - so generally give the game away about who they are! |

Three's "maintenance" has disabled Super-Voice/800MHz in my area entirely. Well done Three!

Lots of angry people on twitter and Facebook that Home Signal boxes and the website have been down all day, not good

What's the theoretical max speed of 15MHz of 1800 on LTE?

The OnePlan was £23 at one point, so the unlimited data cost seems to be slowly going back to that price...

You dial exactly this....... *3001#12345#* Are you confusing them with quotes? They aren't. Star, 3001, Hash, 12345 Hash, Star |

]The OnePlan was £25/month at launch which was & is very good value for 2000 minutes 2000 texts 5000 3-to-3 minutes & unlimited date with unlimited tethering. £25 now only buys 600 minutes & 12GB of tethering.

How accurate is the 12GB detection?

I got my Galaxy S4 in May 2013 (so around 2 months after it launched) and I was paying £38 a month for the one plan (so as you say 2000 minutes 2000 texts 5000 3-to-3 minutes & unlimited data with unlimited tethering). Looking at the handset contracts now for the Galaxy S6 (around 10 months after launch) is depressing. For around the same amount as I was paying you only get 4GB of data. For unlimited data (with a tethering limit) you have to pay £51 a month. Hell they aren't even much cheaper than EE anymore - you can get the S6 on EE with 10GB of data for £45 a month, with three you get 12GB of data for that price. |
