T Mobile loss of signal - Sucessful Outcome

Options
Hi,

I posted in a couple of threads over the weekend about how over the last couple of months since T mobile introduced the new EE network, that my quality of signal had become really bad.

Today I called their customer services and spoke to Ashley in their technical department who was extremely helpful and she arranged for a (excuse the lack of technical terms) signal test for my phone in the areas where I most use my phone. This took a couple of hours, but when she came back to me she said that there had been a loss of signal and it would not improve in the near future. She there and then offered to cancel my contract at no cost to myself which I have agreed to.

Ashley was unable to comment whether the loss of signal was due to the changeover or to masts being decommissioned, however I am very happy with the outcome and wanted to share this with anyone having similar problems.

    Sounds like a mast was taken out of service. Or has developed a fault and they're not in any hurry to fix it.

    That it happened at the same time Orange and T-Mobile became EE was coincidental. EE runs on/is the old Orange and T-Mobile infrastructure. They didn't suddenly tear down the 27,000 mast they already have and put up a whole load of EE new ones.

    If you search more widely on the net you'll find there are quite a lot of 'coincidences' of this nature... I also note that the T-mobile staff member spoken to didn't categorically state that it had nothing to do with the changeover.

    Thanks for the update helenbolland, it's good to hear how things pan ouy.
  • well hopefully other people in the same boat as me can make use of this.
