Balls up? Isn't everyone now able to access the 700 sites plus possibly more that are being tested?
Sure, it's the end of 2016 and at one point it was meant to be end of 2015, but no date was originally given - until last month. And it slipped by nearer two weeks, not six months! |

I've got an old Orange SIM and put it in a portable hotspot recently, and forgot how it used to work. The hotspot shows I am roaming, and I have to turn the roaming bar off to use it!
I think it took a few months to sort out, and eventually you had as Orange customers, "Orange" and "Orange T-Mobile" showing as the network name - WITHOUT the Roaming triangle. (Nokias). For the first few weeks it was roaming though!. |

I've re-done some of the detailed postcode areas that I did before, plus others I was interested in.
DN: http://gdurl.com/ogJ6 GU: http://gdurl.com/5GpV HP: http://gdurl.com/iFJWI IP: http://gdurl.com/mNjr NG: http://gdurl.com/RCJ4 RG: http://gdurl.com/ZdXW TN: http://gdurl.com/4yxK TQ: http://gdurl.com/Fjhk TQ is missing the PL postcodes this time, so the site that was there on its own (A38?) has fewer points around it on the west, plus the strength values are now also ~1 unit lower than before - something it sounds like Packages has seen too. |

Thanks Gavin but wonder there is no red point on the map around Woodcote or other postcodes I picked 4G800. Very odd

Woodcote is just below Ipsden, right? Looks pretty red to me!

You'd assume so but not sure if the published data reflects that (it didn't last week for the South) or indeed how much delay between work being done and the data getting updated. This is the only data we have access to so while it's clearly not perfect all the time it's the only data there is, so it's this or nothing.

Thanks Gavin. Sorry to be a bit behind, can you elaborate on the dots please? Is each dot a separate postcode in that area? Presumably the dots are 4G/800 projected coverage, with dark being good indoor/outdoor and light being good outdoor? Also, is this representative of what is actually live now or future projections? Thanks again, Mark

Thanks again, Mark This is the data that is available now, I don't know if that is current or planned coverage, only EE do. |

Gavin - Don't suppose you could map the NE postcodes for me please?
Also, 800 has changed yesterday, I noticed because I have a monitor setup to notify me of changes, and my parents' postcode went from 1 to 2, and my sister's went from 1 to 3! Still no 4G there however... |

I know its not very accurate, but what 800mhz db signal should I get if the same mast is giving a 2G1800 db of -92?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-space_path_loss However, in free space you're going to have enough signal irrespective of frequency, so it really is purely academic ![]() It's the obstructed path that's important, and there are so many variables involved, you can't really say, other than, all else being equal, 800 MHz will be better (normally). Although 1800 MHz will penetrate buildings better through the windows etc, but worse through brick, steel and concrete |

Can you do AL post codes please? No rush though, as I'm told there's very little 800 activity (public at least) near me.
