O2 network coverage not what they say it is!!! - Page 2

Anonymous · ‎10-03-2011

O2 say that at my address i should get excellent 3g coverage and voice calls etc. Well i get no 3g and i am able to make a call or text once in a blue moon. I live in Oakley just outside Basingstoke (not exactley the north pole) and nothing!!! I told o2 this and they said their system said everything should be fine and they would do nothing. I am very dissapointed in deed and will look to move provider when the time comes. £35 a month for nothing! Also alot of people i know sa that o2 network coverage seems to be getting worse? Anyone else get no signal when O2 say they should?
Cheers Donsparky

2g on o2 (900mhz) has better in building penetration and coverage is based chanels available so signal strength bars stay the same you may get network eror if capacity reached.
3g on o2 (2100mhz) worse buuilding penetration and cells get smaller with more users so signal fluctuates in strength.
On the new coverage checker remember 2g is top selection and 3g is the mobile internet section

iPhone 11 Pro 256gb on unlimited data
iPad Pro 12.9” 2020 256gb refresh o2 family discount

My first mobile was in 1995 a CM-R111 from sony on Cellnet.

Cant understand why coverage is so intermittent - sometimes I can send a text but others it just sits in the outbox.

If you are on 3G the size of the area covered by any Cell site varies depending on the number of people using it.

Also, you don't always get to be on the same mast which can also cause variations in signal
