    But there is a light at the end of this tunnel. Experts reckon that service will get better rather than worse in the future, as long as we continue upgrading our infrastructure and keep up to date with the latest updates in technology.

    Wait, investing in infrastructure makes infrastructure better?
    Stop the fucking presses.

    I have a work phone on O2 and it’s shockingly poor in my area. Strong 4G+ signal but so slow it’s unusable. I assume it’s over subscribed or an issue with the nearby masts.

    I have Three ony personal phone. This is good where I live but move towards the town centre it grinds to slow speed despite being a strong signal.

    It really does feel like there’s just too many devices and not enough capacity for them.

    Separate note. I read somewhere (and I forget where) that a high number of 5G masts are being rejected planning permission by pressure put on by local residents. It’s something mad like 90% are denied. There was one planned right next to where I lived but people started putting up posters about it looking ugly. The public notices disappearee so I assume the residents won. The location was right next to a roundabout and close to a railway. I really doubt it would make a different to their view.
