Mobile Data in London Bridge

[Safwan]

Hi all,

Wanted to see if anyone else has issues with mobile data in London Bridge, outside the rail station?

Raised this with O2 months back, they’ve stopped giving me updates. I have full bars, calls are fine, but data will not work on either 4/5G. 

Am aware it’s a busy area, but even when it’s died down, no improvements. 

On an iPhone 13 Pro if that matters? Not sure if the lovely Android users out there are fairing any better.

Norfolk Enchants? 😆

Use it while it's there, before long it'll be gone.

😁In the venue I'm getting 4G on my mobile, so I think they are upgrading masts.

I got it directly from O2, has to be a UK model right?

You are correct that the iPhone can still go to 3G but it’s really bizarre as to why you can’t force it. 

Perhaps newer iPhones don’t have the feature given the US factor you mentioned.

I’d hope so! I believe EE will be upgrading 3G masts to potentially 5G before the switch off, though how fast is another story

I have the same issue in and around London Bridge.  iPhone 13, 5G, full signal - but zero connectivity. Have to connect to the station wifi to get any kind of connectivity. This has been going on for months.

Any recommendations appreciated!

Welcome to the club. I’ve reported the issue, and O2 has said they fixed the masts. Unfortunately, this has not changed anything 😞
