There are many reports of Orange 3G problems in central London.

 

i have had this all day today in dorset, you are not alone

 

Orange + London = fail

 

I had the same in Ilford today

 

I'm on Orange too here in Norwich, Very little internet today, although I managed to stream LBC (Londons Biggest Conversation) on TuneIn Radio for an hour or so this morning.

This interent problem has got worse with every Android update (I've had the phone since launch!). It can work brilliantly for a while then just willl be very intermittent!

Its says it's connected on 3g but it's rarely higher than 4 bars (generally a couple). I work and live very near some masts!

 

Orange 3G = pathetic.

 

I live in the north west UK and for the last week or so 3g has been next to useless until today. I had an issue with orange safe guard stopping me accessing web sites. I called the tech guys and they sent new settings via text and the issue I had has been rectified but also so has the 3g. a vast improvement coincidentally it seems.

 

Really?

When I rang about the same issue they just said it was a nationwide problem & engineers were working on it.

 

mmm how odd, yesterday i went to read a forum that i frequent quite regularly and got an orange safeguard message (the forum is for an MMO and is heavily moderated) since then 3G keeps dropping back to GPRS and the mobile internet is generally very slow, guess i will need to give orange a call to get rid of this safeguard rubbish.....

You will get the option to remove it via the automated service but i would ignore that and get to speak to a real person as mine was already removed but still came up with it. It only improved with the settings text message they sent me asi said earlier.
Oh and the best way to speak to a real person is via the automated system but select one of the options that offers an upgrade or change to plan etc.

 

I live in Surrey but work in the centre of London. Data signal starts to become patchy once I'm past Clapham, and by the time I'm on the South Bank it's disappeared altogether. Even when wandering though the West End 3G / H signal is rarer than hen's teeth. Orange data availability really is diabolical in the Capital and frankly that's just rubbish. It's London, for God's sake, not Littlehampton!
