Yes i have been affected but mostly its ok,i vist my parents in the CM16 area of essex and i used to get quite a good signal there,but just recently i get one bar if anything(even though 3 boast about better signals),3 may have improved its signal in the majority of areas but not here,i guess the reason i am getting no signal there now is because 3G is a bad signal (in my parents part of essex),and now the back up 2G is not available to us anymore.
Was it widely publicised i wonder.?
