My phone is showing that 3g is active, its just happened today so I want to find out if the transmitter has been upgraded.
Is there a website that might tell me?
I'm on O2.

Thanks for the info but I meant more engineers info. The map just shows coverage over the area not if a transmitter has been upgraded.
I just want to find out if they have done anything today.

What do you mean by "engineer info"?

If you were not getting 3G and now are there are only 3 possibilities. Either you have corrected a wrong setting on the phone, some freak whether conditions have allowed 3G from a neighbouring cell or there has been an upgrade.

If you look at the coverage map it will show current and predicted coverage so you can easily work out which of the last two is the case.

Quite up to date. Shows a Vodafone 3G transmitter that was added to my area just before Christmas.

yeah the main thing I want to check is that it isn't weather conditions causing it and that it will disappear.
I'm in a dip and thought we had 3g already but was hidden by the dip.
Hopefully its permanent. Altho with 20kB downloads the difference is minimal.

Well the 3G is still working so they must have upgraded the transmitter.
