Brighton kemp town no signal bn2

[Sparkybradley]

No or week signal in kemp town due to The mast in the royal Sussex county hospital has been removed in readiness for a helicopter pad no new mast has been installed in the area to maintain coverage this was switched off on the 25th march 2013 O2 don't appear to have a solution yet in signal any ware in the hospital and very week outside and surrounding area phone is needed for work so no point being on O2 now as all I get all day is no network or searching so get a load of texts and voicemails when I go home

o2 are on site today

i have been told by o2 live chat that the 3g coverage is fine now and that i need to change my sim to a new 4g sim.....

@schuey
the 3G coverage is far from fine we are still on the temporary mast the the new mast on the Thomas kemp tower is still under construction might be finished this week but probably next week the masts are up but the cabinets that make it all work are still under construction the new mast will carry the new 4g
in reply to needing a 4g sim you will also need a uk compatable mobile a lot of iPhones are not compatible with uk 4g 800 the new iPhone 5s will be when launched in August September also if you don't get a 3G signal you are unlightly to get 4g I would see what happens when the new mast is running
hope this helps

Hi Sparkybradley,

Thanks for updating the thread with what you're finding out about the mast. Hopefully it will be finished soon!

Cheer, Toby

o2's engineers hope to have the mast working by the end of the week 4th or 5th

Any update? I was at the marina about 5:30 and it was still pretty bad. Are they still testing?

I've noticed a significant improvement since yesterday in the Kemptown area. It's not as good as it was before the old transmitter went, which is unfortuate, and it seems a little inconsistent but it's much better than it's been for the past two months (which to be honest isn't saying that much!). I'm interested to see if there'll be any further improvement next week. I'll wait a little longer before switching providers. I would like to stay with O2, but if I can't get a consisent phone signal where I live then there's no point. Have already waited two months for them to fix this thing.
