Ofcom's 3G coverage maps: O2 embarrassed

[mcmonkiez]

O2's coverage is the thinnest on the ground -- not good news for iPhone users. In 2008, Ofcom warned O2 that if it didn't pull its finger out and improve its 3G coverage, it would take back its 3G licence early.

I knew the coverage was bad but didn't realise just how bad it is. O2 should be embarased about this but hopefully it'll either mean an improvement in their service or get Apple to consider offering the iPhone on other networks. Or if we are really lucky maybe both so everyone can be happy

Being on a Sim Only plan with O2 I think I will be changing soon. The O2 reception is so poor everywhere, and they have had more down time this week than up time. I still dont have voice access tonight, only data!

That's horrendous!!!

Sometimes I wish I hadn't bought a 3GS because of O2 shocking contracts and now this too!!! Not that bad for me tho, I'm in the patches by london and Bristol!!
