Useless network coverage now Orange is EE

in Mobiles
I live in the countryside in Hampshire and have an Orange mobile. The coverage has never been good where I live, but there were always spots where you could make a call. Now Orange have joined with someone to become EE, which I believe stands for Everything Everywhere, there's a misnomer if ever I heard one. Now I have NO coverage at all. There is nowhere at all on my land where I can make or receive a call or text, and even at work where I never had any trouble at all I get no signal. The entire area of several square miles is a complete black hole for a signal. It is totally useless.

Have others noticed this?

    It's coincidence. EE is now the parent company that runs Orange UK, T-Mobile UK and EE 4GEE. They renamed the Orange and T-Mobile networks as EE. Nothing else changed.
    I spent 25 years in the mobile industry, from 1994 to 2019. Worked for indies as well as the big networks, in their stores also in contact centres. I also hold a degree in telecoms engineering so I like to think I know what I’m talking about 😂
