But I'm mainly referring to 3G... what frequency does that operate on?

Voda run 3G on 900Mhz (stealing part of their GSM range) plus 2100Mhz.
(Optus do the same with the 900Mhz "range").

MMC


Also... what frequency does EDGE work on?

Yeah their 900Mhz GSM network takes a beating from people who buy
unlicenced kit from the US and forget to change the region/frequency.

Not sure if they (Voda) run UMTS or HSDPA in that band though.

Get a scanner and see if someone is using unauthorized 800/900Mhz Gear.

Voda is at the edge of spectrum and I've heard rumours over a few beers
that some unlicensed wireless gear regularly knocks Vodafone spectrum
for a 6. Next step is for Voda to find you, and send you a stern
letter.

Hey all,

I am about to ring up and have a go at Vodafone about our coverage here
in Castle Hill which seems to have gone bad in the last few weeks.

All our handsets (over a dozen) that were displaying 3G, are now
showing 'EDGE'.

I thought I would gather some more technical understanding on what that
could mean from you guys before I started harassing them.

It would also help if anyone knows where I should start harassing them
as opposed to starting with frick'n Lara.

Thanks all.

...Skeeve
