Stephen at UK Gadgeteer has posted about 3’s network improvement works, which started today.

“Already hitting capacity in certain areas, it makes sense to me to start with London to roll out what should end up as a faster, better network, which is one of the two areas 3UK really still need to work on (the other being Customer Services, but that’s not unique to 3UK).”

You can access all the information about these works on 3’s dedicated page, as Stephen explains:

“…from that page, you can enter your postcode (or town name) and it will tell you about any planned outages in your area; for the area around my home, for example, it tells me they… have more planned for today, which might result in an outage for me”

Outages – a dreaded word for any mobile network. They’re a necessary evil, however, and:

“…if they improve my home 3UK network signal, that’s no bad thing as far as I’m concerned, and well worthy of a few hours of no signal.”
