Anyone here from Bournemouth with shocking service?

It might just be my phone.

But anything other than Vodafone has really poor service, with congestion being the standard here?

Is anyone in the same boat?
 
I can't comment not being around Bournemouth, but is this a city wide issue or a specific locality in the Bournemouth area. And has it been ongoing for ages or cropped up since an approx date?

Does Vodafone have anything to say about it? What are the symptoms?
 
My sister lives in Boscombe and service is always terrible either around her place, down the beach, or around town. I found EE worked the best for me there, and swapping to 3G on O2/Three made them just about useable.

Seems like O2 have a dedicated moaning thread, so I guess they aren't much better. From memory thats VF host so if your having no luck with them I'd try EE

The amount of unhappy Virgin mobile users who left after the switch on that thread is hilarious
Honestly, when O2 works, the VM deals are really good. I cannot say anything bad about the fact that VM was offering 15GB for £7 which is now 100GB if you have VM broadband.

Definitely, when it works it's great. Easily competes with EE in London if not better in some areas (indoors). Most networks are pretty good and you can access them pretty cheap other than EE. I try to base it off where i'm least likely to have 4G that doesn't work
 
VF works great their 5G rollout is one of the best, what I don’t like is the roaming it’s so expensive plus limited to Vodafone networks, so Spain and Netherlands (Two countries I visit often) the coverage is often crap. I’m trying 1p mobile at the moment but indoor coverage isn’t great at work the moment I enter a building I hit 1 bar of unusable 4G at best or no service.

3 has really bad congestion in the town centre.

O2 well I tried them and it simple doesn’t work anywhere in Bournemouth

City wide.

Vodafone says everything is fine. But even so the town centre is quite poor at times.
 
Bournemouth, boscombe, xchurch and the new forest, all will have massively fluctuating speeds, because of tourism..

In the summer Bournemouth can have x2 or even x3 the amount of people in the area.

Yeah true. there are few planning permission entries to build some new masts in the area. So i'm just hoping that wiil improve speeds.
