Well in my case I haven't had this problem all year for the first 11 months of being with 3 - until I gave them my 30 days notice of intention to leave them!

I did this 3 weeks ago, and - although this is probably pure coincidence - ever since I gave them the notice, every single call I have made has either dropped or failed to connect! Most of the time it is with full 3g signal as well. I must have made around 100 calls in this 3 week period and would estimate over 95% of them have dropped.

I know there is no technical reason for this to suddenly start happening, but to me it just seems too much of a coincidence!! Perhaps they are trying to pee me off for leaving them lol :D

LoL how bizzare! I guess it'd be far too easy to say you've been very lucky for the last 11 months, but at least you've enjoyed a relatively trouble free stay with them. I was trying to believe that most of the persistent disconnections were in the past now, but perhaps they're still prominent in todays network.

It may be pure conincindence as you mention, however they may have completed some sort of network upgrade within the area, it happens over night and a lot of the time more problems are created than solved, you get rid of one thing and end up creating 10 new problems, your new SW highlighting new issues that have arrisen or have been hiding! Or it may be your handset has just happened to go faulty!? It's either that or the black helicopters in the sky are interfering with your mobile signal... I'm tellin ya, they're out there.

There's definitely been upgrades going on in much of the Three network and content provision. They've been trumpeting this week about how they've increased the speed of their downloads of content. So far I have noticed that streaming (Quickplay) and download are apparently faster - not sure quantitively how much faster but the impression is that it is. Unless that is a placebo effect, i.e. they told me and so I now believe it :)

Downloads to Moto E1000, LG U8120 and NEC E338 are all noticeably faster (the latter handset so the kid reports).

Black helictopers? I thought they were just bats!! But I don't care - got my tinfoil hat on tonight, they can't hear me think.

Sounds like a fault with the Node B. I'm sure there's upgrades happening on most of the 3 network regularly. Little patch here, big patch there...

Still pretty dreadful in Central Scotland. Dropped calls are fewer but still significantly higher than one would expect.

Lost SMS text messages seems to be of concern right now.
