I have noticed that 3 does have oversubscribed masts, my known locations are
Newquay
Padstow (seasonal during summer, 3g only tourist town)
Swanage (seasonal during summer, last visited in Feb when speeds average 10mbits 4g.
London SW1
Winchester st cross road area
I'm not too sure how much of the UK is oversubscribed but anywhere that is dependant on tourism seems congested in my experience where other places either have fast 5g, good 4g and those unfortunate 3g only areas even though they usually have good speeds but bad down/up ping usually over 1000, narrowband calling and only band 1 coverage. I'm pretty sure o2 struggles the most with capacity as they are overally slower and well dependant on small cells maybe im wrong but i've never found o2 "fast".
Here's my main concerns
•If congested enough could it be impossible to make a call or text?
•Even if 3 uses the most newest mast with the best specifications can it still be oversubscribed?
•Have 3 actually genuinely tried to tackle network congestion or do they just wait for the next G to come out then upgrade?
•How badly congested are 3 coverage wise?
