Orange UK ? Worst mobile network ever, I'm courier with van, running around London everyday, usualy very poor 3G, calls droped all the time like dozens per day, at home and office just work trough UMA because the 3G doesn't exist and GSM is to poor as well, I don't know waht can I do to cancel my contract and back to T-mobile.

Good look mate.

Hey,

I've been pretty fine with it until today, was in camden this evening and was getting sos and 3g (with 5 bars of signal), did a battery pull and it worked ok for a couple of minutes but wasn't sending or receiving emails, switched to 2G only and seemed to work fine - slower obviously. resent my service books, switched to 3G and received 3 emails and a bbm, but after a couple of minutes was back to 3g then sos. Never had that happen before but was my first time in camden with my bb. Not sure if it's a coverage issue but wouldn't have thought so in london.

Has it just been happening to you today? Not sure if it's 'cos I downgraded to .586in the last few days (UMA wasn't working at all with .593).

Any ideas or official word, anyone?

my 3g is usually 5 bars and usually always works, but my god the speeds are terrible, i may aswell be using gprs

Mine does the same unfortunately. I was in Brighton today, hardly a small fishing village.. but I had basically no 3G signal and when I did receive it, it was so damn slow!

Hmm, upgraded to .593 again and 3G seems to fine today in London (Old St). Also, after I upgraded last night I got UMA instantly. Only the 2nd time I've seen it on this build. So maybe my issue's sorted... Fingers crossed.

PS - What build are you running LahLu?

I've spoken to Orange Customer services last night, please see my thread here for more info:

On that note I found O2's data network can be far worse at times.

whitebait - v.5.0.0.351, I only downloaded it a few weeks back! How often do these updates come out?

Thanks for the link BerryUK, annoying that they won't give even a rough date for these 'updates' to be completed.
