What's the point ... ?

[Lord Bracknell]

... of the advert that appears on the large screen at the Amex inviting me to download an app for my Android device "NOW", if there's no wifi service available and 3G phone service is so appalling?

The Amex App worked ok yesterday and I managed to send a few texts with no delay on them at all.

Have never been able to get any mobile joy at the Amex (Vodafone). Seems an obvious thing to sort out.

 

[hart's shirt]

Has the club tried turning the large screen off and then on again?

This, but with O2

Tesco is also a no-show in WSU

I don't get this I get super 3G I my seat and in the lounges.(EE) Also use Bhafchotspot or Amex Events, just ask a staff member for the code. However no service at all at South end of stadium.

How do you get the app and is it available on iPhone or just android?

That's because Tesco is o2.

Barbers' missing a trick here isn't he. He could sell a Wifi season ticket

My 3 signal was working well yesterday, I actually managed to look at the half time scores on the sky sports app, at half time!

 

[Charles 'Charley' Charles]

Never had any issue with 3 network.

 

[Ned]

Must say it is one of the places where the 3 network gives a really good service.

 

[halbpro]

Yep switched to 3 and very good.

 

[BuddyBoy]

I got reception yesterday (first time ever) in the North.

 

[lighthouse]

20,000 mobile phones in a small area will test any network.

Perhaps the OP should talk to Vodafone/O2/3 or whoever although I sense he is trying to draw out a few of the anti-Barber noddies (again).

To be fair to the club didn't they look into this a little while ago, suggest that we may be able to sign up to some sort of bandwidth sharing arrangement? I am not a techie at all so didn't really understand the detail. Although I get intermittent service in the WSU I am quite happy to live without mobile contact for a couple of hours!!

Anyway, did anything come of the 'project' as I do recall filling out an online questionnaire about it?

 

[bennibenj]

Tend not to worry about reception at the game. Aslong as I can get some pics on occasions, that will do me.

Mine also much improved. EE in WSL.

The half time scores are on the giant screen.

There's no anti-Barber theme here, simply a suggestion that the Club does something to provide a useful service that it is being advertised to customers, but isn't actually available to people who might want to use it.

What has emerged from the discussion so far is that, as a 3G user on O2, I seem to be disadvantaged. Decent stadium-wide wifi would help overcome that, surely?
