Good signal to really, really poor signal?

[ctmagnus]

Has anyone else ever experienced this? They get a very good signal (usually three or more bars) for well over a month (in my case, since I got this phone) and then they suddenly get little to no signal in the same location, for multiple days at a time?

This hit me on Saturday morning and I still get a cr@ppy signal nearly 48 hours later. :?

Well, not that bad, not me, no sir. I have noticed a number of issues with signal and GPRS over the last month or so. From what I can tell, it's all due to the Rogers Fido merger (buyout).

I assume you've done a reboot in that time. If not, it might be worth trying. Also, you might want to try and drop your sim in another "carrier approved" phone to see if the signal is still weak. If so, call and complain. The might be having an issue with one of their towers.

I've seen the same thing here but its usually bad for just short periods of time as in hours.

I called Rogers on Monday and their end reported network difficulties. But around 4:00 P.M. today, I had three bars again. :clap:

Cool. Glad the problem was solved and they admitted to it! ;)

As for the Tablet, they are cool, but I found the effect wore out pretty fast. Perhaps if I had my own it would be different.
