I have O2 mobile broadband and it's a bit, um, dreadful. It takes me about ten minutes to GET a signal (by inching the dongle to the left - then to the right) and even then it's really weak, and may disappear after fifteen minutes.

I have O2 mobile broadband and it's a bit, um, dreadful. It takes me about ten minutes to GET a signal (by inching the dongle to the left - then to the right) and even then it's really weak, and may disappear after fifteen minutes. If I move the dongle AT ALL it's gone. This isn't just trouble I've had with O2 - my friend on 3 has similarly terrible signal in my flat. I used to have one of those tablet shaped ones, which was just tolerable, but it broke on me and the new one's signal is really completely unuseable.

Is there anything I particularly can do about this? I think it mightn't be my location (Harold's Cross) but the positioning of my flat. I'm stuck in this flat for another month so can't sign up to Imagine.
