Vodafone Mobile Broadband - I Can't Connect In PL8 Postcode Area?

[jeshie]

i moved in december from pl9 8dt to pl8 2pb it is two miles down the road at my old house i could connect to 3g with a good signal and now if i try to connect it will only let me connect to GPRS and wen i do about 10 seconds after i connect my laptop freezes up for about 5 mins and when it unfreezes it frezzes up again a few seconds later and most times i have to cut the power to my laptop to sort it out
this hasn't bothered my too much over the last few months as i have been using my laptop in school where i have good signal but now i am leaving school and i still have 10 months left on my contract and i am paying £30 a month for something i can't use is there any sort of booster i can get or anything i can do???

Hi jeshie

I've just checked your new postcode, it doesn't look like good coverage in this area I'm afraid it shows to be only a partial GPRS coverage.

I would suggest for the freezing issue with your PC, it might be worth downloading the latest version of the software from our business site.

We do offer a Vodafone Sure Signal, but this needs you to have a broadband at the house, so I don't know how useful this would be for you.

Thanks
