Three and Vodafone are merging!

Just received a message saying my area has been upgraded, I can now connect to Vodafone network automatically for more coverage.. What a joke. The data service in particular is worse than it's ever been. :(

I filed a complaint over the connection issues at my work address as previously mentioned, will see what happens live chat were useless.

Otherwise I'm off to 1p mobile.
 
I jumped from Lebara to Spusu and big difference at work and in general, this mergers never going to benefit the consumer, otherwise they wouldn't do it.

Looks to be some truth in it.
 
The race to the bottom continues.

Telecoms only knows a few tricks, one of them is merging, another is outsourcing. The last one starts with “R” and ends with “edundancies”.
 
And I still only get coverage for half of my 50 minute train commute to London, it's probably because Hertfordshire is in the sticks...

Lol, what a farce. It's onshored, they aren't Vodafone employees they're Concentrix employees. If it's anything like the Wipro/TCS days at C&W/Vodafone then they'll ship people over from India on short term contracts/training plans to do the job.

It also doesn't say if these are customer service roles for retail, or B2B - my cynical mind says it'll be for the latter.
