O2 UK 3G coverage rubbish

[gifford]

Not really a bug, but having had 3G in my area since the beginning of time I expected O2 to at least by now have entered the 21'st century.

Now i have to drive 10 miles to get 3G, how rubbish. hmmmph

o2 is by far the worst uk network for 3g in my experience, i thought apple would have made them improve it to keep the "exclusive carrier agreement" considering that 3g is the main selling point over the original iPhone

I expected the same, I didnt even bother checking for 3G coverage in my area because of the long local history of 3G from Orange, and because (as you say), I expected Apple to give them a kick up the ass...

PS: I have always found Orange very pleasant to deal with, and on top of technology, I shall miss them.
