    Hmm, @o2 has terrible signal in the new flat. 3 bar Edge. Well, that’s not going to work, is it? (This delayed tweet sent from a cafe.)

        @aral have you moved near the Hospital by any chance? The battle to get @o2 to reinstate the mast continues. Slightly premature taking it..

        @F_P_L Sussex Square; so I guess that qualifies? Although I have full signal 3G outside so I wonder if it’s the 1st floor/basement flat…

        @aral annoying! Consultants at RSCH have been out to buy @vodafone sim’s to enable them to remain functional. Can’t be doing @o2 any good!

        @aral despite a prior warning they didn’t plan for coverage prior to removing it. We’re outside Haywards Heath, @ThreeUK wins hands down!

        @philjoneswired I am indeed. Is that situation still not rectified then? Great signal outside; wondering if it’s the flat itself +@o2
