The O2 coverage in Ollerton is 3-4 bars on Whinney Lane, but as soon as you get out towards Walesby it's dire (Barely any 3G) & the festival was out in sticks between those 2 locations. As that is my stomping ground I moved away from O2. Twas a good festival tho, I was sent highlights from a friend (on EE)

The coverage checker is not a live signal meter and cannot take into account load on individual masts.
If you get a lot of people all on one mast, it slows down. Simples

Never had any issues down that neck of the woods, but it is in the middle of a forest..... but all coverage checkers are just computer predictions for coverage.
As no network sends out a person to check the coverage.
I do not work for o2 or any VMo2 /Telefonica/Liberty Global Company
