ITS TEH TERORORISTS RUN FOR THE HILS!!!!!!!!1111
probably having some kind of enormous internal networking f*-up, if they're anything like Orange (they have it on a regular basis)
that or one of these rabid bands of anti-phone-mast protestors have gone and pulled your local transmitter down because its within a mile of somewhere where there's people or something. I think that's happened in my area. Used to have 3-4 bars all the time. Regularly struggle to get any signal at all in the house nowadays, since the snake oil peddlars found a new bandwagon.
(the sorry thing is that the most rabid one i know has their TV on all the time and lets their kids sit right up close to the 30-inch widescreen in their lounge - the emissions from a regular mains wire at 1m are worse than a phone mast at 50m already, but a television at 1/2m is enormously worse. Loves to wave this little "emissions detector" around... yes, well done, you've built a transistor radio thats tuned to Ghz rather than Mhz... phones work by radio... did you think it was going to be silent? Thanks to a heads up from some very serious people at the hospital's radiation protection services department, I'm no longer decrying any/all effect from phone emissions - but I also know they're a damn sight less troublesome than the regular AC ring main in your house, which may as well be an enormous, low power but continually active MRI scanner)
Anyone on Vodafone 'Pay As You Talk' having trouble tonight?
