doppleganger  Surely there will always be parts of the country where the 3 signal is poor. Doubtless the other networks have similar issues.

I'm not sure what Smarty can really do about it since they rely on 3 and are part of then group. I think this is a UK based problem since it is possible to get really good signal in remote places in Europe e.g. Norwegian Fjords.
