Do iphones improve the coverage on the 3 network, or should we not believe the hype. I am with 3 and its awful in my home, but fine outside of it. I live in Herne Hill. Does anyone on 3 get a good coverage in their home in that area, and if so are you using an Iphone?

I use an Iphone and the service was terrible.


Even worse they made it really hard to cancel even though I was in the 14 day period. Kept transferring me to different numbers all in Indian call centres - took about 3 hours.


Then 2 months later they tried to charge me line rental again. I had to call my bank to put a block on them taking any money.

Brilliant in Lordship Lane down the Dulwich Library end. Was using my 3 'all you can eat' data plan on my phone to tether wirelessly to use the internet on my laptop and work from home when we were waiting for BT to install our new broadband. Couldn't believe the connectivity and I was using it to make calls at the same time.

Vodaphone were telling me the 'coverage' of 3 may look good on a map but often the signal cannot penetrate a building so indoors at work/home some users may not be able to get a decent signal so have you leave the building to speak.

I think Vodaphone were feeding my lines, but I'd be interested to hear if other network users have a similar reception issue as per posters above - where indoors (or only part of indoors) there's an OK signal, but outside the building it's fine.

I'm also watching 3 and started a similar thread a few weeks ago.

    • We used to feed the birds, but once the parakeets discovered this they just took over, scaring away all the other species and eating everything in sight. I tried scaring them away with a Nerf gun, but they just didn't care. I know it will open a can of worms (no pun intended) but I really think  the parakeet population needs to be reduced; yes they are pretty, but they are just like a plague of locusts when it comes to food supplies.  PS apologies for pedantry @malumbu but the true definition of "decimate" is to reduce by a tenth... 🫤
    • If anyone is going to the meetings above, you may wish to raise the issue of the impact of the lights, noise & activity on the local bat population. Gala commissioned a survey on bat activity, which stated that activity had been identified, with several species detected, and that action must be taken to minimise any disturbance to these legally protected species. One of the recommendations was "to limit artificial lighting and reduce noise levels starting at least 20 minutes before sunset throughout the event period"  I asked the Events Team three months ago whether this recommendation had been implemented. I finally got an answer yesterday - "This recommendation was not achievable due to the nature of the event... it was concluded that not implementing this recommendation would have little impact"  So there you have it. Commission a survey (box ticked) and then don't adhere to the findings because it's "not achievable", thereby wilfully and knowingly negatively affecting the foraging & commuting habits of a legally protected wildlife species. This is on top of the useless bird survey, which only takes into account activity within the walls of the site, not the surrounding area which is full of trees with nesting birds which are undoubtedly disturbed by a month of noise, lights & activity.
    • Really good service. Good bread. And very accommodating when we had to outwit our clever resident fox. 
    • ...and so, 4 years on from the "dramatic planning meeting" that approved the "meganursery", how has it all worked out in reality? The building looks nice from the outside - but I don't know anything more. Did either of the nursery businesses on EDG fail because there was no demand for nursery places in East Dulwich? Did Carmageddon on East Dulwich Grove get worse? Were pre-COVID work patterns abandoned forever (lol)? Were some of the concerns expressed in opposition to the planning application a teensy bit overblown...? https://southwarknews.co.uk/area/southwark/mega-nursery-approved-amid-dramatic-planning-meeting/
