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.

What made it worse, was the the park is home to a number of companies
(with employees numbering in the thousands) with much of their work done
for another location with thousands there too. People move back and
forth for meetings or even for months at a time for site work. For a
couple of years EE (and only EE) worked at site, while it wouldn't work
at all at the other office base!
