Most companies have a change freeze from now until next year.

I'd say that things will go on hold now for a bit.
I think I recall it breaking and going down over the Christmas period last year. I have a recollection of seeking nerdy-solace from sprouts and being disappointed. May be wrong of course!

EE are long known for having a vendetta against Berkshire. They don't like giving power to you.

In the aforementioned canteen I'm currently on 3G, so the impression of 800 even helping there must have been just luck. It is literally pointless

I did say that Georgi wouldn't be getting it after all the spamming of forums.. Merry Xmas!
There is 4G800 in Berkshire, very little though (it's pretty well covered by 4G1800).. not sure why the postcode checker isn't showing it up. Although it is possibly is only one or two masts! Yup, emergency cover only from the next few days onwards till jan, contractors upgrading sites also stops this week, so we won't see anything other than maybe a coverage checker update this side of new year. |

Certainly looks like more than 700 sites to create a map like that. Still being told they are not on full power yet, will be in a month or so.
Got a zoomed in map for Scotland? The 'issue' with Scotland is that the postcodes are huge, my pseudo random postcode selection is 3 postcodes from each postcode sector, which for Scotland could cover a huge area in more rural parts, so there might be 800 out there but its not been lucky enough to be caught by one of my postcodes. |

Thanks. That's the one on the A38, not the MIP.
Ok well, not sure about that. Seems to contradict what the checker that's been posted here returns. I'll enter a few manually and see what I get. Thanks again. http://gdurl.com/eOW2 So those 5 that were in Devon on the map yesterday obviously now looks very rough, compared to this one which is a much truer indication of coverage. That also applies to the rest of the country. Unfortunately running all 1.8million postcodes through it would take an age, and certainly rendering those points would be challenging too, the browser is already is sluggish with the 7000 points plotted. Saying that, if anyone wants a specific postcode area mapping it doesnt take too long to do. |

I ran it for all 27000+ postcodes in PL and TQ postcode area and there were only 267 with a non-zero 800 strength, plotted these look like this.

The script to do this is here: http://gdurl.com/6NVi The output json from that gets dropped into a google map javascript html document which handles the creation of the dots in the right places when rendered in a browser. I used unformation from both the google maps javascript api help pages https://developers.google.com/maps/d...on/javascript/ and this site to create that http://ramblings.mcpher.com/Home/exc...aps/mapmarkers So its not a one button press thing... I dont have a google map dev key (so it can only reneder locally, cannot be hosted on a site) plus I cannot share my source for the postcode data set so you'll need to provide your own. |

It's about as far from my day job as it could be so I've only ever done it personally which means I can't follow standardisation or commenting rules!

Saying that, if anyone wants a specific postcode area mapping it doesnt take too long to do. Yeah that's better. The MIP as I suspected. Main cluster right over North Huish. Can't get 800 off it though. L18 will go right down to silly low dBm levels and then switch to 3G (both on that mast). |

No problem, it's good to see the extent of the coverage from a stand alone mast.
