Three-Vodafone Merger
 

I'm excited to see improvements in network coverage

Re: Three-Vodafone Merger
 

Don’t hold your breath. When Orange and T Mobile merged, it was brilliant for about 18 months until they started rationalising the network and switching off towers they claimed were duplicating coverage. By the time they were finished it was a bit better in some of the places it hadn’t really reached before, but nowhere near as good as it was on day 1.

Oh great. I was thinking something like double capacity (VM cable upgrades alike) but for coverage. I get a drop off on Three during the weekends currently but when unutilised during the week I get 500meg download easy.

An 11 billion investment with 7 billion in cost cutting. Don't be tight just expand the network!

In increase in 5G coverage would be nice.

Andrea Dona, all eyes on you :spin:

Yup I was just thinking that!!

It will probably get worse....... When XM Merged with Sirius they destroyed XM... I thought XM was much better!

In your dreams, not to sound too nasty but 5G had been called 'an expensive experiment' by the people in the know... china claims it has 5g all the time:td: Nope not true they switch it off, the transmitters that is... dropping it back 4g progress? Not really why? Power usage as 4g is much cheaper to operate.

So you can only hope that it gets better it isn't going to make much difference as they need more sites + power than 4g needs... hence the snail pace roll out > $$$ more operation costs. You should be looking at 6g which they should have gone to skipping 5g. As 6g it's not that far off an old 4g site with less base stations needed. (5G)

Think it as ethernet cable cat 5 worked.. just but then cat 5e > 1 gig not long after more than doubling speeds... yet even sooner you had cat 6.... it worked just no difference to cat 5e Then you had cat6a.... months after cat 8 .... lets just skip cat 7.

Which would you put your money into investment wise? ;)

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has decided Vodafone’s merger with Three should be allowed to proceed if both companies sign binding commitments to invest billions to roll out a combined 5G network across the UK.

Well if that's the case the information I posted is more current as in the last few months of print as they studied many countries roll out of the same cancer causing/issues network... as for china is public information. They're flushing money down the drain only for it lead to spending more when there years behind with their rushed roll out of 6G which is already here in other places that put their money where their mouth was.... Oh yes rolling it out.

All 5g is.... GCHQ/NSA/etc devices in your own home instead of the network back bone lines.... hence the over due speed increase that the older devices caused aka latency. The UK power grind has had this tech since the late 1990s able to turn of a single home power from remote, made much easy with a GCHQ/etc special 'smart meter' talking to your electronic goods, able to shut them off when it suits them.

Please put the bong down.

Re: Three-Vodafone Merger
 

All the information has been printed/used in court cases/evidence plus given out by government.... prove it wrong.

Bongs are for ornaments not for playing with my dear....:shocked: As they say; Suck on it to see if it works.... I haven't. ;)

Re: Three-Vodafone Merger
 

No, you prove it right. Conspiracy theories aren’t true by default.

Re: Three-Vodafone Merger
 

You see your type always fall for it ... if it ain't given to them on a platter aka agenda it isn't true/right. I am right or not~? :dozey:

Lets put it this way..... I'd put good money on it & I'm not a betting person. Why do near all 'Conspiracy theories' come true & get finally admitted by the PTB's when it suits them? Ask yourself... :confused:Keep on drinking the government cool aid.... It will charm your nerves of the real world.
