3G on iPhone 5 with Meteor issues

quarryman

When browsing using 3G on Meteor I occasionally get "safari could not open the page because it could not connect to the server". This is with full 3G signal indication. I have just moved from o2 on the iPhone 4 where it never happened in 2 years unless I was genuinely out of signal.

It's getting very annoying, happens every 8th or 9th page. Never on wifi only 3G.

Anyone experienced similar?

Where are you based?

I'm in Dublin and half the time I can't connect and the other half it's at miserable speeds. Emobile fobbed me off for a while:

must be your sim (changed it)
must be your phone (tested multiple handsets)

Until I called business care by accident on Monday and they explained that they are doing repairs and upgrades on allot of antennas in Dublin and the ones that they are working on are having serious 3G issues.

Their solution was to turn off 3G and just go with 2G.

Thanks. for. that.

I won't be renewing my contract with emobile til they resolve this. It's a deal breaker for me.

Its a bloody nuisance, I have same problem on iPhone 4s but it only started after iOS6 update so I'm presuming its a bug?

This took me 6-8 months to get resolved but it resulted in me sending back my 4s and now getting my contract cancelled.

its a network issue but meteor wont acknowledge it till every possible excuse has been used (sim card,phone etc)

I'm having the same issue with meteor. I can't stream Netflix rte player or any streaming apps. It's such a pain I came over from O2 and regret doing so now their network was great for doing all of the a above. I have wifi at home so only really effects me in my place of work which is Blanchardstown.

Same here iPhone 4, meteors network just seems to be terrible (I’m with E-mobile). Have tried everything with them they just keep telling me it’s not their fault and it’s just where I live is an isolated problem. I live in Dublin 8 which I would assume would have good coverage. Was with Vodafone until I switched and am seriously regretting it. I am currently trying to get my contract cancelled and send phone back

Hey folks, what is involved in getting the contract cancelled? I don't want to sit through 6-8 months of back and forth with them.

Sadly, I think it's nigh on impossible to get out of contract even if the service is a lump of sh*te.

Thankfully, I'm out of contract and giving my 30 days notice today. Have had enough.

Messed around with a Tesco mobile sim yesterday and even with O2 throttling their data speeds, they are way faster than emobile and infinitely more reliable.

I have vodaphone broadband at home and is useless on my iPhone for wifi.. I've started switching of wifi and putting on my 3G

Anyone else have the same problem?

I was just on to vodaphone and they changed wireless channel but still no use..

This thread is about Meteor 3G problems not Vodafone

I am with meteor on my iPhone 4, when I watch netflix on the bus in the morning, my coverage is perfect and netflix never freezes or stalls, but when I get the bus home in the evening my 3G shows 5 bars but netflix keeps stopping and kicking me out, Facebook is painfully slow. Does anyone else have this problem? What can I do?

Called into Meteor. Said that "a replacement sim card fixes 90% of problems".

Well guess what, new sim card, still seeing problems. "Cannot connect to server" when I have FULL 3G signal.

been having problems myself but only when in a bad signal area i find that when i go to make a call the call then drops and my phone doesnt have edge let alone 3g it then reappears a few seconds later, have also found the cant connect to server in similar areas. pain in the hole so it is.

im wondering if its meteors end or is it the phone ? i was in london bout 2weeks ago and found the phone being constantly out of signal but people on older iphones had signal something iv seen happen before while roaming myself
