o2 4g / voda 4g Cornerstone Project

[Anonymous]

O2 and Vodafone previously announced the pooling of much of their tower infrastructure. This project would result in better coverage for both networks although some towers would ultimately be removed.

As a general guide o2 took responsibility for the east and Vodafone for the west.

I now have both o2 and voda phones now as I lost faith in o2 to provide a good network and I am now finding Vodafone have better coverage and actual 4g coverage in more and more areas that o2 do not. Whilst not all sites are shared so many are so how has this differential occurred? Is Vodafone's Project Spring starting to take off?

where is o2 in all of this? ??

Personally i wouldn't believe anything from Aerial but then again they are a business partner rightly or wrongly so. ...

Also continuing on from my earlier post o2 have only recently signed a deal to move their network from its traditional SDH and Ethernet-based managed services infrastructure to a dedicated full fibre core optic network to ensure they can cope with the future 3g/4g network.

Where as vodafone are already using a fibre optic network for their 3g/4g when they purchased cable and wireless approx 2 years ago, hence on average why they are spending £2m a day compared to o2 who are spending £1.5m a day. Also why they are looking to compete in Home Broadband & TV market
