Norfolk is still terrible. My town has decent signal nowadays, but is one of many with no 5G whatsoever. And between towns, you often get nothing.
Nice to know nothings changed since I lived there in the 90s.
Why would you need it while on the move? Sure on a train but isn’t that expected to have patchy signal at times? It’s a train. Railways often go through routes I would expect to get occasional signal loss.
The thumbnail amuses me somewhat. You have that view and yet need the internet? Just put your phone away.
I expect bad signal on a train, but that’s not because I want it, it’s because I know from past experience that the service is sub-par.
I need the signal often because I’m trying to work on the train. But it’s also nice to be able to message the people I’m meeting on the other end if not working.
I’d say 70% of the journey between London and Manchester the signal you get is bad enough that it’s unusable.
I pay for phone service, I expect it to work without arbitrary conditions based on them being too cheap to put up enough masts to provide what they sell me.
The whole original point of mobile phones is that they are to be used when mobile
1st world entitlement: I demand flawless internet when I am going faster than any animal on the planet, through valleys and tunnels cut through the surface of the earth.
Yes people expect flawless internet, when that is what provideers advertise. How many ads were there in the last 25 years of showing people on trains working through mobile internet? If you can’t hold up what you advertise, you’re just scamming people. It’s not entitlement to expect what you’ve been promised.
Oh well if they are advertising that then yeah they should provide it.
It’s not entitled to expect to get what I pay for
And I’m not even expecting flawless. I’m just expecting it to work enough to be able to do my job
The second half is such a non sequitur that you might as well be trolling
Trains often go in places it’s unreasonable to expect a signal to reach very well. Like underground or surrounded by high cliffs.
That’s not the route I’m talking about though is it?
Sorry for not having taken every rail in the country? Pretty sure every train I have taken goes through a few tunnels and many areas that geographically are going to be poor signals.
You don’t need to, just the one mentioned in my first comment
I’d say 70% of the journey between London and Manchester the signal you get is bad enough that it’s unusable.
You then proceeded to tell me I was entitled, despite apparently not knowing what you were talking about
The article states that on the move means outside the house. So not necessarily when currently traveling. But even then, passengers in a car? Bus rides? Metro? On a ferry? Biking and stopped or hiking to find directions? It’s not only on trains people don’t need to pay attention.
I wonder if there is a correlation between providers, given that it said 4 in 10
