Hi all,
I'm using one of the new Vodafone Vodem Sticks and seem to be living in a hole with regard to 3G coverage.
I'm at 360 Ngarara Road, Waikanae which is shown as covered by the extended (900) coverage on the maps on the vodafone site and listed as 'good' when i search for my address, but I only get 1 bar or occasionally two, of coverage, and with that reception, you get better speeds on GPRS.
It's a slightly hilly area, but we're on the top of the hills so that shouldn't be a problem. Also, assuming the big hoking tower near the settling ponds is where the signal is coming from, then I have line of site to that about 100m away, with a few trees in the way depending on which way the wind is blowing.
I guess what i'm after is to work out if the website is wrong, if theres a problem with the tower, or a problem with my card (it does seem to work fine elsewhere though). Also, I used to have a T-Stick which worked fine at this address too.
Thanks,
Peter
