Strange. If I put Bangor Wales cathedral’s postcode in there is no date for 3G switch off. However if I put my postcode in which is on the outskirts and my work postcode again on the outskirts they both have the 02/10/24 as switch off date.

Deleted wrong thread.
 
Been back to Saltford last week. Managed to get 3 bars of b28 4g+ upstairs of the house from a full spec mast from Keynsham. Downtairs was 4 bar b1 3G with b28 one bar slow 4g+ interfeering with the connection.

This has not been cellmapped but it is the same mast as EE 4G by manor road.
 
The classic 3G only area experience

Think I'm going to cancel my Smarty SIM. The constant switching between 3G/4G or various 4G bands eats so much battery.

Was reading @Mark.J article about O2 SRN in Glencoe and while playing with the coverage checker I discovered that Glencoe is a 3G only area on Three. Not really a surprise when it comes to their 3G coverage but was suprised to see their coverage map actually saying that there is no 4G at all. There should be 4G now anyway thanks to O2 but that coverage map result earlier did surprise me.

Guessing O2 is being overoptimistic there 😂

Do we know whether they're keeping 3G only sites up?

So far in their 3G switch off areas they have switched off 3G from masts that includes 4G but left the 3G only ones on.
