Percentage of motorway network in an area with a 3G signal from 1 operator (3831) Metric type
- Help text
- This metric shows the proportion of the national motorway network in an area with a reliable 3G signal from one of the four mobile network operators (EE, Vodafone, O2 or Three). ie, for this proportion of the area only one network is available. For overall coverage see all operators metric.
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.
Motorway coverage indicates the amount of the national motorway 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.
