Keswick is now oversubscribed!
Not really, considering they attract heavier users and have less to invest in upgrades, plus with a pending merger, major upgrades to many sites would be wasted money, especially in places Vodafone has upgraded such as my town.It is INCREDIBLY embarrassing for such a tiny network to have congestion issues.

Warning for those in central Southampton (West quay, High Street, Above Bar, St Marys area).
Worst i've ever seen
No data throughput at all
No service at times
Calls are borderline usable
I don't know whether to blame 3 on this one because it is genuinely busy but EE did so i'll let you decide

Oh, no. How did you survive?!? #thoughtsandprayersI live a few miles outside of Southampton and we use Smarty for our Broadband and have so for a year now. I love the £16 unlimited data, but this afternoon we had no data connectivity for a full 3-4 minutes!! The worst it has been.. Really thinking of moving to EE now.
Lol.. yep fair point.. just a pee'd off son watching his Marvel movieOh, no. How did you survive?!? #thoughtsandprayers

Latency can be oversubscribed aswell possiblyView attachment 19874
Anyone else suffering with massive latency for extended periods owing to being oversubscribed?
It started second week of September where often in peak times latency goes up to 100's of ms. My theory is traffic shaping on the mastLatency can be oversubscribed aswell possibly

Uh-oh - the elastic band snapped!Looks like it looking at the following.. Big outage at the time we had no internet for 15 mins:

I should have kept my mouth shut as either I jinxed it or maybe they had turned up a dial by accident and dialled it even further back to correct themselvesI've noticed improvements in the last 2 weeks now which is very apparent over the weekend where B3 + B32 + B20 maintains the CA combination for virtually daytime hours and the speed is getting more consistent. No works have happened and still flagged as oversubscribed which leaves me to only be able to guess that maybe they have been a bit more thrifty with the power settings? They used to sleep B32 but that stopped a long time ago. the 'faux G' from N1 is still unusable though unless it is 4 in the morning. The CA combo B20 + B32 + N1 is normally the same amount of bandwidth unless getting the B20 bonus when on the 4G combo mentioned earlier, however, I am having a guess again and that is B20 is overstretched and is too thin anyway! B28 seems even more stretched than B20 and doesn't perform well even in the dead of night as a 5G anchor. I still pine for the restoration of B1![]()
Interesting, whats the url for that checker? Curious what it reports for my area.Greendykes, Edinburgh, now oversubscribed, in spite of a mast with 1+3+20+28+32 covering it.

If they added 5G, it would help. (I assume backhaul issues) Apparently there are improvement works scheduled soon so maybe they'll help? There's only really EE left now that's not a bit crap.
