Ofcom’s Mobile Coverage Checker

[Cosimo]

A new map tool from Ofcom:

13 August 2015

•Check mobile operators’ coverage, wherever you are, indoors or outside
•Help improve the coverage checker by telling Ofcom about your experience

People can now check their operator’s mobile phone coverage using a simple, powerful online tool launched by Ofcom today.

Ofcom’s Mobile Coverage Checker provides a single-stop for consumers and businesses across the UK to discover the quality of the mobile coverage in areas where they live and work, or somewhere they intend to move.

Users can zoom to a specific location on a UK map, or simply enter a place name or postcode, to receive data on coverage for each mobile network - down to 100 square metres. The map uses data provided by EE, O2, Three and Vodafone.

is it supposed to be ironic how slow the map updates?

It's extremely inaccurate imo, it over inflates 3G coverage by a massive amount, 2G and 4G are not much more accurate. Should come with the warning "assumes no one else in the vicinity has their mobile phone on, its winter, on a mild day, at 12:00" or similar perfect conditions.

Not sure why offcom doesnt just refer to opensignal.
