There are big holes in the government's pledge to improve rural mobile coverage. No 3G/4G targets, for a start: http://www.pcpro.co.uk/smartphones/1000173/mobile-networks-told-to-improve-coverage-but-not-data …
@PaulOckenden I meant using repeaters rather than turning the signal knob up to 11! You clearly have more faith in the networks than I do.

@bazzacollins Why would they roll out a network which has less income potential? -
@PaulOckenden I presume if there was huge profit to be made, they'd have upgraded years ago. They'll find cheapest way to meet target. -
@bazzacollins So you assume it's cheaper to fill a gap with 2G than 3/4G? Why? -
@PaulOckenden I assume there may be solutions, like repeaters/mast sharing, that are cheaper than new 3G/4G masts. -
@bazzacollins But why would they repeat 2G over 3/4G? I just can't see your argument here at all. It doesn't make sense beyond the headline! -
@PaulOckenden Because if a village in Cornwall only has 2G masts, it's easier/cheaper to repeart those than replace.
