Three Oversubscribed Areas Alert! (And What Action Has Three Taken)

Sponsored Links
Thanks.

This wont be a surprise I guess.

There is, at times, heavy usage in this local area.

As a result, you may experience varying data speeds depending on how many customers are connecting to our network via your closest mast.
 
I've got this:

We're working on the network in this area at the moment. We're sorry for any disruption this may be causing.
We hope to be finished working on these improvements as soon as possible.

We'll add any further updates here.


They've recently installed a POW so probably testing it, keeping a eye on the coverage map as it will likely be updated when the POW goes live I hope...
 
Watching the Mast Upgrade Planning Applications rejections coming back to bite.

You can add Lewes to the List, BN7
 
Got fed up with intermittent Three/Smarty dead periods - maybe 3 or 4 a day, mostly in the evening, so have popped an unlimited 1pmobile Sim in my 5103e for now as an experiment.

The speed and signal is not quite as good as Three, but at least there are no halts to connectivity due to their core. I get around 130 - 170Mbps with b1, n28 and n78, whereas 250 - 400Mbps with Three on b28 and n78.

One thing I have noticed, and I think someone else here also pointed this out is that, when I do get these connectivity halts, if I'm on a VPN, such as with work laptop, I maintain connectivity throughout! So there must be some routing or traffic inspection fault somewhere in threes core rather than oversubscription.
