Orange 3G data problems

talkalot

Just wondering if any one here was suffering from Orange 3G data problems. A few of my friends and I live in Suffolk and since the middle of March have had little or none 3G data connectivity. Yes we have full 3G signal but the phones just wont connect. Sometimes if you are lucky they might connect for a short while but a few hours latter its no connection again. At the moment it seems to be effecting customers in Essex,Suffolk,Cambridgeshire,Herfordshire and parts of London.
So are you been effected or do you have the same problems further away from East Anglia ?

Ive been having exactly the same problem and Im in Essex, I just thought it was my location, out in the sticks or at stansted airport where i know the tower sometimes affects signal.
So is it a known problem, ie do Orange acknowledge it or is it just what you've learnt from friends/family in various locations.

It is a major problem in East Anglia. Orange are aware of it as one of my friends has spent a lot of time talking to Oranges higher level support team.

Ah right, maybe I will give them a ring aswell then, see what they say about the situation.

Couldn't get connected on 3G in Cambridge at all today. It's fine in Peterborough though.
