Disparity between claimed coverage and actual coverage

Anonymous

I visit two places where I can receive no signal whatever. One is Nettlebed in Oxfordshire and Hughenden Valley in Bucks. In your coverage guide it states that signal is good in both areas. This is an obvious untruth. I wonder if anyone else on 02 has discovered this disparity?

I travel all over the UK with my work and have done for the past 10 years, mainly to the same places Of all the phone providers I have used in that time , I can honestly say that O2 has thrown up more blackspots than any other.
To be standing outside in a major town in Yorkshire and getting one bar is not acceptable. In my view, the addvertising of coverage by use of the maps on phone companies websites, wants looking at . It is clearly fraud to be claiming an area has good coverage when in fact, it has no coverage at all.

Vodafone has had the better coverage in most places I have been too, ie Yorkshire as a whole, the North of England, South Wales and the Greater London area.
