Alan, that's interesting news as I'll be heading up the GU soon. You know, with all the help you have given me over the last 12 months I reckon I must owe you at least half a pint of beer by now; it would be a real shame if I actually passed you outside of normal licensing hours (if such a time still exists now-a-days) .. LOL!
Returning to the subject - I think the problem is less about upgrading their cells and more to do with those areas of the country which are presently *without* cells (and I think this probably applies to all the mobile phone/internet service suppliers and not just '3'.) :-( I've never quite understood why more use hasn't been made of the rail networks - all those masts and generators along the lines must be well underused and I can't see many NIMBYs objecting (if they ever even notice a few more aerials growing on the masts which are already there) either. With the close proximity of the canal/rail networks in many parts of the country it would be a real boon for us <g>!
