Mobile reception in Dulwich Village

[Jeremy]

Mr Eater, surely you are aware that mobile phones are a manifestation of this big brother society? They can track your every move... record all of your phone calls and messages... it's all part of the conspiracy. You should be glad you can't get reception!

I live in Dekker Road (parallel with Calton Ave) and have two mobiles with different providers (one for work) and reception on both is impossible inside the house; I have to go outside into the street to take calls. Used to live in another road nearby that was a bit further up the hill where reception was marginally better, so I assume it has something to do with the village being in a valley.

Indeed when you think about it the whole of Dulwich is in a valley as it's surrounded by hills. Herne Hill, Tulse Hill, Gipsy Hill, Forest Hill, Denmark Hill, Champion Hill etc and without any masts in the area that's why the reception is crap.

Shit! Didn't think of that one. I can't live without my phone though, so I reckon that if I ditch the contract and get a anonymous pay as you go sim card I should be safe from the opressors.

I think Jah Lush's hills argument sums it up. There are base stations within less than a mile of the village, so distance should not be a problem. Its those flaming hills that are the issue.

What Dulwich village needs is a base station to call its own, best place would be at the Calton Ave / Turkey road crossroads. I shall make it my priority to arrange for one to be errected.

New steeple for St Barnabas perhaps?

Maybe the reception is so poor because the area is scrambled/shielded by HM secret services ? >:D

Na ya don't reception at all with that ;-)

The reason of problems is usually in far location of provider?s antennas and their insufficient amount in rural areas.

In this case the best solution is a mobile repeater

I have bougnt this model https://www.myamplifiers.com/boosters/repeater-ma150gw/

For calls and 3G
