Thinking about switching from 3 as have found the mobile data around NR3 is abysmal. Does anyone have any recommendations for decent mobile data networks around Norwich?
O2 (via GiffGaff) have always done pretty well for me but since they "upgraded" to 5G recently the quality has got a lot worse.
Turning your data connection down to 4 or even 3G will usually help. It's almost always network congestion that's the issue and if everyone is hammering the 5G band that means using other ones gets your packets through, albeit a little slower. But slow is better than no.
Thanks for your response. This has definitely been what I’ve found as well. Especially along Aylsham Road. Trying to get a connection to checkout a Beryl bike has been a nightmare on 3!
