Does the West Country have poor 4G Connectivity?

we were not for from Cheddar earlier week & part of last, I'm on EE & EmilysMum is on O2 and neither of us had 4G problems 🤷‍♂️

There will always be black spots in some remote rural areas, I suppose, and a few parts of Devon and Somerset suffer worse than others.

Cornwall, though, fares very well with excellent 4G coverage over most of the county. 

 

Hi David, As said there will always be some issues and we find some coastal areas suffer, maybe due to no 360° signal, such as at Pentewan.

Currently in Holland at end of a five week tour and considering data sims due to very poor campsite provision overall and that’s even when paid for.

The SW was left behind in communications upgrades but money appeared recently and some areas are undergoing improvements. I suspect Cornwall has done better due to various needs and investments. G7?! So you'll find it variable David, details on Ofcom website. So far this year our communications failed briefly on the NE coast. I think generally it's all better than it was. 🤷 

It was good in Cornwall way before G7, Brue. I can't remember if it was due to European grants or something to do with an ex-PM holidaying here, or both😉

We had no trouble with the two club sites in Cornwall as OH ex IT signal has to be good for him, as he uses his roaming French mobile phone he could roam to what was available and no issues EE, 3, and Vodaphone, parts of Dorset can be difficult as landowners do not want masts on their land but also depends where you are.

Hope this helps.

Yes I know, EU grants and other things.  

1. It is not just the south west EE and O2 also 3 is very poor in this area
2. It will be even worse when 5g networks try to install masts  if  what has been posted is true
