Presumably you live in an area with a good signal no matter where

you
are inside or out. Here you have to be upstairs, by a window, on

the
right side of the house to stand a chance of being able to make a
phone call without, donald duck noises, drop outs or the call just
disconnecting.

A lot of people don't seem to notice these issues or the delay all

of
which I find very distracting.


Same problem I have trying to get DAB radio


What's DAB?

A sophisticated system for delaying radio broadcasts so if you try
listening to Test Match Special commentary whilst watching cricket on TV
you are about 3 deliveries behind the actual play. It also makes the
time pips totally superfluous.
