A hot t
opic for many people in today’s society is: why cant I get any 3G service here? This is due to coverage of 3G mobile internet only being required to cover 80{b53b8f90c42e8e2d379a8faf296e29b3b07b7871cbe49d6d87e0a17a43247252} of the population, while 20{b53b8f90c42e8e2d379a8faf296e29b3b07b7871cbe49d6d87e0a17a43247252} of the nation is left in the dark. This causes a real problem for some people who travel, or live in areas of low population, who need this service to send or receive data on their phones, be it sending e-mails or receiving directions. Whatever it is, people aren’t receiving this service, which frankly is incredibly disappointing as many people are paying extortionate amounts for a service that does not work half the time, or is incredibly slow.

Until this is completed, we are unfortunately stuck with slower 3G, and with 4G restricted to people in high density areas.
