So, with coverage on the single T-mobile network beginning to suffer, as opposed to the dual network being a bonus, something needs to happen about bringing the virtual networks onboard to the combined network.

This has also hurt "3" coverage, as they lost the use of Orange as a backup.

Were the regulators asleep when they put this through!

I think that poster in the second link is getting mixed up. I was told by 3 the agreement for 3's roaming agreement with Orange was transferred to 'Everything Everywhere' which is the name of the new joint venture with T-Mobile, if something has changed I haven't been told as a 3 contract customer.

I can definitely confirm though that on the rare occasion it loses a 3G signal it still roams to 2G, it did when I was on a train on Monday anyway.
