For the last week or so, I've had sporadic data connection issues, no LiveTRAFFIC etc. The SOS is available (most of the time) so I'm assuming base level phone connectivity. It sometimes shows traffic and sometimes not. My subscription is valid to next June and the car is on the 4G network, and as I say it's only been the last week or so and not all the time. Just checking if it is the MB network (which has happened before) or just my car.

Now that you mention it, live traffic isn’t showing on mine…

Yep, not just me then! I updated my Live Traffic subscription last week and it's been a bit sporadic since. I don't remember that it was like this before the update?

I use WAZE so no problems for me, but early next year the 3G network is closing. I have seen 3G on my phone several times this week so 4G is not 100% yet I am on EE.
There are going to be loads of devices that are not 4G compliant.

+1 - my Live Traffic has been a bit hit and miss for the last couple of weeks.

i wondered whether it is because 3G signals are being switched off and the 4G signal is not strong in places. I’ve been around the New Forest quite a lot and coverage is quite patchy in places. I’ll try and pay more attention and see if there is any pattern to mine coming on and off,
