Just to say that our offer-holder question thread is open!
How are we all holding up?

Does anybody know which mobile network is most reliable in Cambridge or are they all equally useless? I'd like to have a signal for receiving calls without having to keep my mobile on top of a wardrobe in my room.

And now stickied, and referenced in the master list :smile:
In central Cambridge there's pretty good signal for all networks I believe. I'm on Virgin and I get 5 bars 3G in Cambridge. Where I live (around 15 miles away) that's another matter...

I've heard Three isn't great in Cambridge. (Don't quote me on that though, I may be misremembering)

The mobile network is pretty good as a whole in Cambridge, at least from what I've experienced. I use giff gaff / O2 and it's been consistently excellent for the past year.

Glad to hear giffgaff is good, I don't want to change networks!
Thanks for replying, everyone!

I'm on Three and it usually gives good coverage (when I was living rurally it was the only network that worked for me) but when I was down Cambridge in March it was horrendous. The signal was non-existent inside (apart from when I held it up and jumped about a bit in my college accommodation) and outside it was patchy. It's handy to know about Giff Gaff and O2 - I have one of those free Giff Gaff sims hanging around somewhere.

Virgin is the network I've been thinking of going with because I'd get free calls back home, so that's good to know. I know in some locations you have more chance of reaching Narnia than a mobile signal.

As a non-student frequent visitor to Cambridge, my experience on internet connection in Cambridge town centre has never been great and I've heard of similar experience from other people on various networks, so not sure if there's any significant difference between different networks, tbh.
It works great in some areas but there's a quite a lot of spots where it's virtually impossible to get any decent access. (ie, some back streets, inside shop/restaurants). Perhaps it's due to old stone buildings with thick walls and narrow streets......? Even in a same restaurant, it works OK near the front door but impossible at the back..... Even it can be quite unpredictable on a same street. (There's a couple of spots in on St Andrews Street that is not very good....)
I sometimes have to walk around to get good internet.

But as a student, as long as you're in a vicinity of university/college facilities, you can get access from their wifi which is great.
