View Full Version : O2 Mast Share Working?

For the first time, ever, I have observed a 3G signal in my house. Its not particularly strong, but its there nonetheless. Previously it was impossible to get unless I stood at the window of the loft dormer extension facing west!!!

Now, I see the 3G signal but it doesn't always last long before dropping back to 2G. Cell breathing?

Considering that there is a Vodafone 3G mast ~150m away from me, in plain view, it cannot be that one they're sharing with yet. But hope springs eternal that I'll actually get some decent 3G before I move off of O2. Too little, too late - besides which their internal network sucks. Even when you can get solid 3G the throughput is dire.

I've been getting some very 'breathy' 3G at home, too. There one minute, gone the next.

Full HSPA on Vodafone, so totally not arsed :D Bye bye O2!
