Internet coverage
Just want to throw this out here and hopefully someone can help.
In the last few months, I switched back to Vodafone from Sky and since then, my data coverage has been very spotty.
I’m using an iPhone 17 pro max on the PAYG unlimited data plan. I was on this plan before up to about February of this year, which was an ideal plan and never had issues with it (using iPhone 15 pro max at the time).
In February, I switched from Vodafone to Sky as they were running a good offer where I could get the 17 pro max and unlimited everything for about €50 a month. However, as I commute a lot from Galway to Dublin, the service was little to nothing and so poor so I changed back to Vodafone.
For background and context, I live in co Galway outside Tuam (not very rural) and I get the train from Galway to Dublin weekly for work. When I was with Vodafone before the switch, my service on the train was quite decent that I could connect to my hotspot on my iPad and stream a movie provided I don’t use the phone too much to interrupt the signal. And whenever I’d be driving around, my service would be very good also.
However, since the move back to Vodafone, my service has been very weak and sometimes even in Dublin city centre it wouldn’t be the strongest for a couple of minutes at a time and then it would start working. But a lot of the time I’m experiencing one bar service of 5G or even 4G in places where I used to get 3 bars. I’m just wondering is there something with my phones settings I need to change or should I contact Vodafone and get IT look into it? I know for a fact theres an error somewhere. I’ve been with Vodafone on and off for years and I’ve never had issues with the connectivity (I only moved for more affordable plans in the past).
Thanks for reading!
