@wonderfullyarty@landatthebottom@peterg The project is for technology proof, not personal purchasing preferences, so which phone service you buy is not something the project can advise on. However, I’ve (peter) live in bath for 20 yrs making comms tech better and if you dm us we can fix a time & place. Happy to share.
@wonderfullyarty@landatthebottom@peterg I can guarantee that if you moved to a better provider on a rolling monthly agreement you would get a better service & pay less. Anyone that wants to come and visit is welcome to a free trial.
@wonderfullyarty@landatthebottom@peterg Because those which will work (incl major manufacturers like apple) will work, and we are supporting other major manufacturers to get their software working. So at the end of the programme, many more will have been tested in a live environment.
@landatthebottom@wonderfullyarty@peterg It was always known that the handset selection is limited and we are still debugging handsets every day. We have a series of events you can come to between now and march 25 https://t.co/Ki4emn8QJ9 so premature to declare failure!
@wonderfullyarty@landatthebottom@peterg This is down to commercial decisions by your operator. Our testing has found that some are better than others. Ee works well and our project partner iq mobile is based locally so if you switched you would be supporting a local business working to solve these challenges.
@wonderfullyarty@landatthebottom@peterg Well, we agree thousands won’t, but equally this is a tech R&D trial to prove the tech works from new uk 5g manufacturers. Supporting local existing 4g networks is an important but 2nd priority. https://t.co/3hZxJJb8Za - we’ve gone beyond in proving access
@wonderfullyarty@landatthebottom@peterg The trial is a “5g standalone” trial so necessarily needs phones that support that. BANES have an allocation of devices that can be applied for and used once initial testing is over in the event there is a need and the trialist doesn’t have the right device.
Come and see! Queen Sq, Bath on Weds 15h May (this week) to learn about private 5g and find out about our @SciTechgovuk funded ONE WORD project to bring a Bath City Centre high speed, low latency wireless network which will be live later in 2024. #bathdigitalfestival

@CaptainHippo@giffgaff Hi yes this is. Please tell your provider they need to categorise us correctly. We don’t generate any chargeable events so they would have no reason to charge you.
