Did you get any replays back from o2 regarding your coverage issues ?
Ive also noticed on here that some says that trees make no difference to the signal.
Im affraid thats not totaly correct.
In europe we use to gsm bands, these are 900 and 1800 mhz.
900mhz band penetrates deeper in buildings and can also travel at greater distances than 1800mhz
however there is a draw back. certain materials affect the signal and wood is one of them.
Having a few trees would not make any difference to a signal, but enough of them can affect the distance.
Trees / wood absorbe the signal causing the siganl to fade at a much quicker rate.
But you would have to have a forrest for this to happen

Aaw thanks, glad somebody does!
Darrengf I was told that I was in a poor 3G area, the area where I am though is very dense with trees. The masts are surrounded by them in my area so you are probably right. I actually do not get any HSDPA in my area despite being in an area that has coverage and has a mast for it so close to me.. My other post about this got deleted by a mod!

Thats good of o2, not many companies would allow you to do that.
Its a shame they cant put a mast up near you though.
At least you got an answer.
Have you ended the contract?

Well finally got a call from O2 today about the signal problem in Ripon. They stated that there is limited to no signal where I work and offered me to end my contract with nil cost and return phone.
At least it is a solution.
Thanks to all that helped me get there finally.
Glad that you are sorted out, shame that 02 have lost 500 customers and will continue to loose same in the future. What is it with Ripon??Sorry that you are (all) going
but all the best!
