I recently joined Id as did my partner and my mother. The signal is shocking Worst network I have ever been on. Will this be improving anytime soon? I am a few months into a 2 year contract. I will most certainly be changing provider after the 2 years. I am currently looking into a way to get out of the contract as I feel you are breaching it wirh your poor signal.
