Having big problems with connecting to internet.my area has 4g. With ok to good bars showing on my Google pixel 8. Often have unusable data connection. Also phone calls can only happen if I'm in my garden as it cuts out regularly, but I have to move about so the person can still hear me. Not happy.

Sorry to hear this, is this only in a specific area or everywhere you go?
Please could you let us know the postcode(s) where you have this issue?

Ip38bs. I travel around the UK and whales often. There are many issues with the network..often the coverage is good but it will still not deliver a simple website for me. I'm a lorry driver and often have to do my home admin in the lorry. I often can't open web browsers. It often a suprise when it works normally it's that bad. But mostly annoying at home. Phone calls drop out regularly when driving and at home it's really a struggle even in the garden I have to keep moving around to keep the signal. Id say it's a 50%chance I get a good enough signal to game or use the internet normally at home. Fibre has been bought now because I can't get a reliable connection. So that's a £30 monthly bill I didn't want. Total rubbish.

Apparently I have excellent 4g coverage, yet I can't get expectable internet until after 9pm.. I tried to update my a game on Xbox and it took probably 3 hours spread over two weekends to update 36 percent before I gave up. I'm going to have ago at using my old mobile to see if it helps. But I really am not expecting it to work.
Hi
Thanks for getting back in touch.
Can you please confirm your handset make/model?
