Mast in DG13

[Anonymous]

Hi I'm just wondering when/ if O2 will be upgrading their mast in this area?
All my friends on O2 have now moved to orange or Vodafone as you can get 3G on those networks. You can only get GPRS on O2. In a way it's pointless having GPRS on a smartphone as the data is so slow and takes about 3min to load a page.

Keep checking here.
Any upgrades will be mentioned 3 months in advance http://status.o2.co.uk/

First consideration when choosing a network should always be signal and coverage. If another network offers better, go with that one.

I've been with O2 since the day it was called btcellnet. That was manny years ago. Then it was changed to U, now it's O2. I suppose living in a rural area has it's disadvantages but years ago O2 was the best network. How times change

Have you tried switching your phone to 2G only to see if call and text coverage is better (of course data will be slow).
Years ago it would have been good because it was only a 2G network and 2G travels better than 3G does.

My parents used to live in Eastriggs, and coverage was non-existent! I used to make use of TUGo when it became available!
