Did you complain last time? > > Graham > www.jannock.org.uk The last time I looked at the '3' coverage along the K&A it was marked down as poor reception outdoors and non-existent indoors. Right now I'm using my dongle inside 'Wyrd', with it resting against one of the portholes :-)
I've had to use a second dongle, albeit with a slowish connection, from Vodafone - I was lucky enough to manage to obtain one of the last of the PAYG versions - the type which doesn't have a time restriction on using up the data allowance; great value as I've been using it since November last year and have only spent about £4.00 out of the 1Gig/£15.00 it came with (the total cost of about £36.50 included 15 quid's worth of use!) When I asked the Crawley store if the offer was still on I was told that it had finished, the manager overheard the conversation - after ejecting a very aggressive guy with some form of complaint and a belly full of beer - and dived into a drawer at the back where he then found the last unsold one and sold it to me :-))>> I'm seriously considering dumping my '3' contract when it ends in the autumn, as they have been very unsympathetic about the fact I couldn't use it for most of my time on the K&A - despite spending (wasting!) £15.00 a month for what has, mainly, been a complete waste of space. I might keep the phone though as I get 300 extra free minutes when I speak to my wife (she is using my old '3' phone with a PAYG SIM and so she also gets a load of free minutes when she calls me - I think she pays about a tenner every 90 days - which means that the total '3' mobile phone deal becomes very reasonable :-))>> Trevor [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
