EE network (could they be any more useless) discuss

[zildjian]

Although I wasn't busy today and had ample time to post here, maybe ridicule Norfolk further I dunno'
The EE network failed to suplly a broadband signal nearly all day,

My phone here is Voda' and they seem good, my Internet access though was originally T-mobile but got swalloed up by the giant EE,

Do they suit anybody else here though, they MUST be keeping most people connected if not me

[derestrictor]

We both had phones on ee perhaps a year or so back, they were ok but Orange came up better on a net comparison site

[keeflester]

Vodanofone are regularly shyte here too. So it's probly just a question of being more than ten miles (in our case much more) from a big city where there is enough money being made to justify doing maintenance and providing a suitable signal.

[zildjian]

I see what you did there BTW

[keeflester]

Perceptive as always. Lol

[zildjian]

Anyway I'm probably a little bias after EE just utterly messed up my billing over last year, and took in fact most of that year to reconcile.

A victim of their own success a phone call gets me an individual or succession of them, all of which know about only one thing in front of them,
fortunately I had access to free phone all the time otherwise I'd have been chasing that money as well

Arent they being bought by BT?

[rubberrat]

Yes, BT are buying EE.
EE is The only one that works here 30 miles from nearest city.
I've never managed to access 'my EE' because of some mad loop that I cant get out if so abandoned.

The system states that my number doesn't exist, but they seem to manage to bill me on it

Vodafone is so bad here that they struggled to understand me through the crackles when they rang to ask why I was leaving them.

Btw - all mobile companies customer service is utterly, utterly useless.

[zildjian]

So we'll see what connectivity is like today in that postcode area,



(otherwise I'll see you all after 5)

Is your MiFi with its more powerful receiver not picking anything up? Your opening post hints that you might be using that.


On the subject of MiFi - I can't check my data use. The '3' site requires sign in. I can't sign in because it says I already have (I haven't). The password (that I haven't yet set up) can be changed.. they send a text to reset - MiFi has no text facility... I do wish the well paid guys that work for these companies would test out their own services...
