EE was formed when T Mobile and Orange joined up/ merged.

So masts marked on that map as Orange and / or T Mobile will now be all
EE masts?


I would assume so, certainly when the merger was announced that was the
impression I got.


Except that when they merged, the decomissioned some masts and adjusted
the power of others up or down, to remove duplication, so you can't be
sure that that mast is even still operational. In doing so they managed
to isolate a very large business park around here, cutting off reception
for thousands of people who were tied into contracts with them!

I don't doubt it.

The coverage claims of the various operators can be somewhat
'optimistic' based on comments I've heard from various people. We were
given a 'pico node' when, despite claims to the contrary by our
provider, I demonstrated we didn't have coverage at our house. They've
since made changes and we have good coverage.
