I certainly feel for people with these issues.   😔

Yes in my home area Vodafone offer 2g, o2 a poorer version whereby data is totally unusable.

Three and ee although their status checker states service is available you have to go outside and walk half way up the hill then hope you can connect.

Nightmare.

Sometimes I forget how lucky I am to attain my connection speeds but then I don't have the gorgeous landscape views.

Once you leave the City BoB your views in Yorkshire will be as lovely as many other places.

The South West has many lovely places yes, but we also require the same services city dwellers get. Indeed at the moment we are expected to pay the same as you but 4g is but a myth to us. 3g is almost unheard of either. If you looked at o2 coverage for this area you would see what I mean

I totally agree with you here @Anonymous 

I'm lucky, as most of you know from earlier posts, to get a 2G signal most of the time. Normally it is 'no signal' and I rely on TuGo which isn't perfect and very random at times.

Out of all the big 4 networks though, O2 had the better coverage, generally, so I stayed with O2. Better the devil you know I say.

If I actually see 3G on my phone one day in my rural area i'll be stunned
