I’m with O2 & have zero coverage in stadium so switch to Palace free WiFi & still poor - Should I switch carrier ? Or is it the iPhone ? Or is it just the general coverage where I sit in Block F

apart from now needing a phone to get in why would anyone need a phone inside the ground ?

Im with EE & it seems to work ok up until about 20 mins before kick off which I have always figured on being because of so many people inside the stadium all trying to use the network at the same time.

'Twas always my philosophy with no evidence and very little intelligence to back up that assertion!
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

I’m with Three and get signal during matches - it’s not great but enough to check scores on apps.

With O2 and get little to no signal inside the ground. Same at concerts. No a particular issue for me tbh. Rather than changing carrier isn't this what 5G was meant to overcome, if so couldn't you upgrade to that?

For what it's worth I'm Vodafone and if I want to check on other scores etc. I always anticipate a 2-5 minute wait for page to load. Sometimes a bit quicker but not always. Never had trouble with an incoming call to which my old man always delightfully comments "bet it's a woman" with it almost exclusively always being my wife!

This is very common it's due to capacity of the network. It happens all over the world and every other football ground I have been to in this country has this problem the Telefonica appears to get hit hardest due to bands they use
