    Is there anyway of finding out why certain areas seem to give bad reception.

    The house has poor reception for both Vodaphone and Meteor, I don't know about the other networks.

    You can find your nearest mast there. They're often bunched though so if you've poor reception on two of the networks, you'll likely have poor reception for all of them so it's down to the build of your house.

    For example, there's a mast about 400m from my house with 3 operators on it. But I'm at the end of a terrace and the mast is on the far side. So reception is the centre of my house is blocked by the rest of the houses, but at either side of the house it's fine.

    It gave a score of 100% but as you go up the road it drops down to 86%???? Getting closer to the mast in the area.
