| I've been reading through some comments over on macprime.ch, and am starting to wonder about the Orange network performance a bit more.
Does anyone have any experience of it in the Zürich area? Is it as patchy as some people try to make out? | |

It should be fine in densely populated areas. It's not so good on the train and in rural areas. I have an Orange Option UMTS USB-stick for my computer and oftentimes can't use it because the UMTS reception isn't strong enough. At my current workplace, I don't have any UMTS reception with the USB-stick. I sometimes get one bar on my normal cellphone. We'll soon be moving to the Jacob Burckhardt-house near Bahnhof SBB - we had a meeting there two weeks ago for which I used the stick. I didn't have reception at first but when I moved my computer closer to the window, I had enough to browse the web.
But I guess experiences will greatly vary and also depend on the reception quality of your handset.
