Bad signal

Dyboy — Thu, 20 Jun 2024 12:57:15 GMT

Why is the signal in the Warwick area so bad? In the town centre there are open spots where you are lucky to get an e strength as for 5g even in the middle of the town square it is very low. This also happens in parts of Leamington Spa.

I have a Samsung A54 5G which shouldn't be the problem. Last week I was in Menorce and had no trouble with 5g even in remote places so I cannot see it being the phone.

Dose anyone have an answer for this ?

@Dyboy

In the UK, we pay peanuts for mobile phone airtime services compared to other countries, hence you get much better coverage abroad than you do all over the UK.

Warwick centre does have poor coverage on O2, other networks don't suffer from the same issue.

I have looked at the pricing in europe and it is the equivalent if not better than UK.
