iPhone 5 issues

[Thomas. PLease.]

I'm borderline about to throw my iPhone out. Putting the woeful battery life aside for a while my phone used to work pretty well.

Now though, even browsing for any length of time is quite difficult. Internet connectivity frequently doesn't work. If I do airplane mode on and off a while later, I get the ability to browse back but only for a very short period.

Is this likely to be my actual phone or my network.

I'm on Giffgaff 3G.

Do you have similar browsing issues on wifi?

No problems on wifi, which I guess points to network issues?

 

[Thomas. PLease.]

Yes.

GiffGaff use the O2 network but O2/Tesco have priority over GiffGaff which could explain the issues with your coverage.

Trouble is its not coverage based, I'm in central London with no lack of signal anywhere.
