    The statement issued said end of 2006. However, existing subscribers
    will be able to use O2 for some unspecified time after that.

    Do you have a link to the statment? I'm a bit confused now. What do you
    mean exsisting customers can still use O2? Are they just dumping O2, and
    not changing to orange now?

    Cheers,

    No it isn't, unless you have shares in O, O is a 1G8Hz operator with much
    less coverage than O2 / Voda who are 900 / 1800.

    Peacehaven

    The only story at the time I saw was here:-

    Do you have proof of that? Orange have at least 30% more masts than O2 or
    Voda, so there should be no difference. In fact in Cornwall, in one of the
    most challenging areas of England to cover, Orange is the best network hands
    down for signal.

    PS: Would be less confusing if you used 1800MHz, not 1G8Hz

    "much" was probably now incorrect. The network coverage used to be

    Voda > O2 > Orange > T-Mobile > 3

    http://www.intersites.co.uk/9917/ gives some comparison, but states that
    Voda, O2 and Orange have >99% with T-Mobile catching up.

    See also

    http://coverage.orange.co.uk/uk/UKCoverageSearch.htm

    which does have a lot of Orange in Cornwall.

    Not confusing in itself - only when 1G8Hz and 1800 were used in the same
    sentence.
