Mobile reception Colwell Rd/Melbourne Grove

We got a femtocell to improve mobile reception at home - runs over wifi and works brilliantly. T-Mobile (and I think other companies) sell them as an add on (you have to have the right femtocell for your mobile network) but if you make enough of a fuss about your reception you may get one on a complimentary basis.


The other thing is have you thought about upgrading to 4G. I recently did and have been astonished about how much better mobile reception is. All the 3G blackspots near us have good 4G coverage. It's almost as if they run the 3G network down in places to force you to upgrade to 4G *conspiracy face*. Appreciate it's not ideal to upgrade on the chance that it might improve things, but it did seem to work really well in my case.


Edited because I can't spell conspiracy...

I've never actually heard of these. They sound brilliant but at the same time I feel, why should I have to buy an add-on because they are unable to provide me with any kind of decent coverage! Mind you, I know that's idealistic.. I'll look into it, thanks again.

EE reception has got much worse over the last few years due to their crappy version of 4G and mast consolidation post T Mobile merger. I'm near you and tried out sims for 3, O2 and Vodafone. And Vodafone won hands down. It has been life changing....no more standing outside on a box to call a mate.

    • This reads like an article in Gardeners World where Percy Chucker is discussing how he grew his SUV so big just using diesel based fertiliser and regular waywrimg 🤣   But point well made, they are getting bigger which is partly down to safety features that older cars didn't have but also marketing as adverts seen to push SUVs into the public eye. 
    • I highly recommend Phil at Four Paws doors for fitting a pet door. He has recently fitted a new microchip door for me in a very awkward tight spot. He came up with a solution for the problem of how to fit it within the space and supplied the appropriate flap as well as fitting it. The work was done within a couple of days of my initial enquiry. He was very friendly and helpful throughout and did not make a fuss despite having to work hunched under a desk and hitting his head several times!!!  His indepth knowledge was really beneficial and so much better than getting a general handyman to do it.  http://www.fourpawsdoors.co.uk/ m. 07814 406010
    • Cars are getting bigger and heavier (new cars have become so bloated that half of them are too wide to fit in parking spaces designed to the minimum on-street standards. The average width of a new car in the EU and UK passed 180cm in the first half of 2023, having grown an average of 0.5cm each year since 2001). Speed enforcement is also pretty rare in practice and according to DfT stats, under free-flowing traffic conditions, 50% of car drivers exceed the speed limit on 30mph roads. Hopefully we'll see regulation to stop the car bloat arms race, and perhaps moves to use the same geofenced speed limiters deemed essential for electric hire scooters, but not currently SUVs. Would certainly be more effective and cause less noise, pollution and damage than speed bumps. Also the cost gets passed to the manufactures, rather than public authorities.
