    @teamIPSE Without a doubt! And phone signal! It is appalling how bad the signal is in parts of the UK outside of London! I am 4 minutes from the Cardiff city centre with no signal! #howareyoumeanttorunabusiness @o2networks @O2 @giffgaff

  • BradChanner Brad Channer (@BradChanner) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @O2 This has always been an issue. We are with giffgaff whom I believe use your signal. I have tried everything. I have even bought a booster, but the reception coming into the booster isn’t enough to even make the booster work. Very frustrating. I have to sit in a window 4 reception

    @TommiesGuides @Andy2Gd @giffgaff Away in the motorhome for a few weeks around Yorkshire, Northumberland and the Lakes. Rarely got any better than a mediocre 3G and often nothing at all. best signal often up on the hills! It's a pathetic service. All about major cities.

    @westdorsetrick @GeorgeMonbiot I used to work for the Ombudsman who dealt with mobile phone company complaints The one thing that taught me was to NEVER have a contract !!! That’s why I’m on @giffgaff PAYG

  • woldsweather Trevor Appleton (@woldsweather) reported

    @giffgaff No it's not due to location and masts. We have just moved on 30 miles to Jed burgh. Predictable no signal. I phoned her phone it rang I cut the call then all her messages came in.
