Poor 4G/3G in areas where it used to be fine

[AdamPembs]

So I'm getting really poor 4G reception and next to no 3G in areas where I never had any issues including my home address and work address and anywhere inbeyween. This has started occurring more in the last 8 weeks. Network checker says there are no issues in my area. 4G is showing 2 bars but will not load any data and calls are often dropping out.

I presume this is to do with 3G shut down and living in Wales 4G masts are still few and far between.

Anyway I can progress this with 02?

Use the My Network app to see what's going on.

O2 are not starting their 3G shutdown until 2025 :-

Hence, you can discount that as one of the reasons for your problems. 👍

Which is only 6 months away, so maintenance and repair of 3g infrastructure will be low on the priority list.

Either way, the My Network app will have more info than we can guess at.
