poor or lack of signal


I've had my account for a few months and my signal is absolutely dreadful.

 

The information when I researched suggested I should have a strong signal but at best I have 1-2 bars. I've turned the phone off, put the sim into another phone. Nothing changes.

 

I feel I need to make a complaint as I cannot continue with this for the next 19 months. It's so bad I've had to go back to EE with a PAYG sim card just to have reliable calls and data.

 

Can someone from ID please advise on next steps as I'm paying for a service that was advertised as great coverage that is practically non-existent and going by this forum, i am not alone.

 

Please advise, thanks

Coverage has been horrible! Haven’t been able to connect to internet in central London the whole day! Only able to connect through WiFi! This network is not working at all!

Very good but your chat bot is rubbish and a 60 min wait to connect to an agent.

 

Absolutely diabolical and I wholeheartedly regret moving from EE, where my signal was perfect, to this incrediblely pathetic network.

 

I was hoodwinked by your network coverage which suggest ls strong signal yet 1 bar of signal and very poor and inconsistent data connection.

 

Mind blowing how poor this Network is

I've been through everything including swapping phones

 

Your signal is awful and inconsistent. I rarely have over 2 bars.

 

I fully regret signing to this Contract.

Thank you for your reply. 

 

Although we cannot guarantee a strong signal in all locations, we can do all we can to ensure your equipment is performing effectively. 

 

We would be happy to look in to this further and potentially arrange a replacement SIM to test. 

Can we ask that you reach out to our Live Chat team here?

 

Thanks, 

 

Nat

Good luck with the live chat.

 

6 times I've tried and my best one yet is a 45minute wait

Hi @Doogstar 

 

Our team may take 45 minutes to get onto a chat with, they are at times busy.

 

Alternatively, we also have Facebook, Twitter, or replacement SIMs can be picked up from any Currys store.

This network is the worst I had so far!

im based in Stockwell, London and it’s taking forever to search something on my gmail app or even watching a video on instagram. It’s ridiculous how bad it is! You pay for a product which does not exist! This is enough and I will leave this network asap!

I can only agree with you guys. Signal is terrible. Since they started switching off 3G everything goes down. I am looking to leave network with all my 3 numbers. Talkmobile and their virtual network VOXI works ok for me.
