Percentage of A and B roads in an area with no reliable 3G signal (3825) Metric type
- Help text
- This metric shows the proportion of A and B roads in an area with no reliable 3G signal from any of the four mobile network operators (EE, Vodafone, O2 or Three).
It has been produced by Ofcom, using data provided by mobile operators referenced against the Ordnance Survey of Great Britain (OSGB) Coordinate System.
Mobile coverage produced by operators are based on theoretical models, calibrated using measurements of actual performance. However, consumers use mobile phones in many different situations - indoors, outdoors, on the move, in cars, as pedestrians along roads in built up areas and in wide open spaces all of which can affect coverage.
A and B road coverage indicates the amount of the national A and B road network within an area where there is a strong enough mobile signal to make a call outside vehicles or inside vehicles fitted with an external antenna.
Due to variations in mobile performance over time, the file should not be regarded as a definitive and fixed view of the UK's mobile infrastructure. However, the information provided in this file may be useful in identifying variations in mobile performance by geography.
