poor wireless broadband in Northampton NN3 area

Hi all is anyone else still experiencing very poor wireless broad band in Northampton I have been having this issue for over 2 weeks and have been in contact with help desk and virtual assistant at least 4 times and just keep getting told that their best engineers are on it by people who sounds like they are in India and don't understand English. I have been with 3 mobile and internet for many years and feel very let down by this company and have decided I have no other choice than to leave the network and seek more reliable internet in the future.

yes it is still broken, i've had support telling me that i have poor coverage, while in the same chat confirming via router settings that i have excellent signal, so this must be something wrong with the mast/infrastructure. speed test shows normal upload speed all along. they refuse to escalate the issue beyond the robotic scripted answers. sounds like they are trying to hide something maybe as the status checker reports no issues as well! i've resolved it temporarily by getting a Lyca sim card, this might end up being my long-term solution 🙂

Put your postcode in the Network Status checker to see if any issues/updates in your area. Also try rebooting your router.

The status checker is giving incorrect information, the support person told me..

"There is no maintenance going on but just a network limitation and im not getting any fixed date as to when it will be sorted. So you can either test it for few days if you want, or if you want then we can go ahead and explore cancellation options if you want, as the network is limited in the area."

This is despite being a customer for over 2 years and getting > 400Mbps and full signal strenght throughout that time. An honest answer would be much appreciated!
