I took part in this, but have doubts about the accuracy of the data.
That is they are reporting where I live to be 3G on the three network. I get barely any signal in my house and very weak 2G signal outside and I really expect there no to have been many people in my area recording data.
Several times when looking at the App, it has a map section and that used to regularly show the wrong location, showing when I was in work on full 3G that my current location was at home...
Not only that but it doesn't show how massively overcrowded the mobile networks are....having a signal is only half the battle these days!
Yes, I agree its not accurate.. at my home address I get a good O2 3G signal and have had a weak Vodafone 3G signal in the past. This map implies I don't get any 3G on any network.Quote:

Wish they'd fix the lines on the ground tbh :\
I've gone from 24mb in a rural area to 3mb (at best) in a built up area with no plans for infinity or fibre in the near future. sucks.

The BBC shouldn't go back to reporting the news, because it is totally incapable of doing so accurately.
Exactly. I work near the Westend in London where I may get a full 3G signal, but due to Over-Utilization the connection speed is just as bad as if I had a single bar on the signal.Quote:
