Only able to use GPRS

For the past week I have not been able to obtain 3G in the SE4 area of London (Brockley/Crofton Park.  I have been able to obtain this in other London areas so nothing apparently wrong with the dongle or sim etc.  I saw that there had been problems in the area and that had been resolved although engineers were working in the area yesterday but now the coverage checker states that all is ok. But I am still not able to use 3G and so wondered if there still a specific problem for mobile broadband in this area.  Certainly it is not working for me and all was perfect before apart from the occasional outage but now has been a week so quite concerned

Many thanks for this, I did not realise or appreciate this. Hopefully all will be back in working order soon!

HI

I regret to say that this issue has still not been resolved.  I contacted customer services via chat and was apparently upgraded to 4G.  I contacted them again on Monday and was told that the SIM that I was using was not registered for 4G and so they would do this but I should wait 24/48 hours.  I do not understand why suddenly I should no longer receive 3G and why now I am only able to access GPRS whilst at my home address in London which is central London!
