It's mad to think that Three launched with nearly 1400 sites over a year ago.

Just got a Moto G3 for network testing. Found lots more 800 here, though can't register on any of it, seems to all be VoLTE restricted or something (unlike before) - so I used NSG to find band 20 neighbours and have noted down the PCI's, although since there's only a limited number of PCI's it's quite difficult to accurately find the masts.
Still, I'm glad I've found lots more now, hopefully it'll be good when powered up and launched - I wonder if any of the ones here will be included in the launch, I guess I'll just have to wait and see Can't wait

Three 'launched' in December 2013, but most people weren't provisioned until February or March I seem to recall.

Presumably mobile phone transmitter sites require Ofcom RF compliance tests before they're taken into service ? That's certainly the case with broadcast TV and radio.

I'm pretty sure TV & radio have much higher transmitter power.
I would have thought that Ofcom inspections would be a bit "bureaucratic" though. In a day and age where cell sites can be reconfigured in minutes from an office hundreds of miles away, I can't see Ofcom or an approved agent trudging out to check every time a change occurs. At least with TV and radio transmitters fewer changes happen, and of course there are fewer transmitters to begin with |

The sites themselves had been up and running for some time previous. |

Had a call from EE today to tell me the mast around Woodcote is up and running and he confirmed that mast broadcast 4G800. I told him about me not picking it and he told me to call EE from a landline on Monday when I am in the area and they will tell me exactly what the issue is running diagnostics on my phone. So I will give it a try and they may provision my account and get me on to 4G800.

Is it likely the CS agents even have access to the 800MHz map now? Do they get different information to the consumer?
I know from Vodafone at least, that the consumers often knew stuff before the agents did! |

Yes Gigabit the agent told me how many masts around the post code were broadcasting 4G800. He told me where I live the mast is not giving 4G800. Each post code I gave him he told me if the masts near were having 4G800

Yes but he could say that about any postcode. I'm not trying to dispute what you said it just seems unlikely to me somehow.

it does get worse.. people actually believe what CSAs say.
They also shouldn't be giving that sort of info out.. if true. |

Missed this update last week, not sure it's been posted before (below). So the improvements I've seen in 1 area look like just a new mast:
