Guest darrellr Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 T-Mobile's 3G coverage, like most operators, is not as extensive as their normal coverage. Infact the majority of my work locations are not 3G covered. Is T-Mobile still increasing 3G coverage or is this the lot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Confucious Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 I believe they are actively increasing 3G coverage. I guess I'm lucky as I never seem to have a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FlangeArtist Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 To see T-Mobiles 3G coverage, http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/Dispatcher?menui...han_3g_coverage It's not the best Web page ever. But you can see IF you have coverage (only changes the country image to the right), or not. If you select "West midlands" and "Birmingham", it is covered. However, if you select "West Midlands" and "Cannock", you will see that it is "Coverage by end 2005". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Confucious Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 That is somewhat out of date - they have inncreased coverage since then (my home is showing a sno 3G coverage anbd I was pleasantly suprised to find I have good 3G coverage at home. They really should update it, shouldn't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows nothing for 3G between Cardiff-Newport and Worcester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Confucious Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 You would have thought they might at least try and keep these reasonably up to date. The T one doesn't seem to have changed for a couple of years despite their vastly increased coverage and it looks like O's is similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And orange seem to cover the main cities... and roughly the route of the A1. Which makes me happy :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hugekebab Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 I am currently am setting up the 3g masts for t-mobile. we get on average around 15-50 firm orders per week for 3g mobiles mast provides. t-mobile are actively increasing their 3g coverage and our contract with them is almost solely for setting up their 3g masts, building new ones on greenfield sites and also upgrading existing 2g sites (although many of these are on copper lines and therefore the process for 3g provide must start from scratch with a feasability request) t-mobile did give us the impression that they would be aggressively increasing firm orders, although this has not really happened as they claimed and we are quieter than expected although we expect this to change in the future. hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hugekebab Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Cheers for the info hugekebab, good news for sure... no worries, p.s i should have said, although we dont have loads of firm orders at the moment, the amount of feasability survey requests is v large, and in order to maintain their part of the contract, t-mobile must bring a certain percentage of those feasability requests to firm order, so this should bode well for the future (although the feasability quotes are valid for a year so they could potentially wait until the next financial year to put in for order on these feasabilities.)

Guest travisb Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I cant recall processing a single feasability for north wales, they are almost all in the south...sorry :D Yep, T-Mobile have always seemed to struggle recognising people do live in this part of the world. The other networks are pretty good, O2 and Orange especially have very few gaps in reception. Don't expect a decent reception at the top of Snowdon, but it should be ok nearer the coast. I can pick up their Irish roaming partner better than T-Mob themselves :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Snoopstah Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 My 3G reception at home is almost non-existant - just been into Southampton and it's full signal 3G everywhere. I knew I shouldn't have moved out of the city! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
