Thanks a lot for getting back to me, I've raised the issue with our back office team for you, it can take up to 5 working days for an update so please bear with me and I'll get back to you as soon as that comes through.

It seems as though this is a recurrent issue which needs to be profiled. Elsewhere it has been stated that this needs to be done whilst the customer is in the location with no service. 5 days does not seem to support that imperative.

I'm currently in the Netherlands - I regularly visit for 3-4 weeks at a time. Initially my data speed was fine (4G) but on Sunday I noticed, when I set off on a drive towards Amersfoort, my data connection vanished despite showing as connected (E) on the mobile. I'd get spurts of data every 15 minutes or so - 2 emails - gone. 5 seconds of browsing....gone. In Amersfoort I had zero data througput - I couldn't even use google maps to navigate as it couldn't get a data connection.
As I made my way back west again, toward the coast, my data connection came back (near Rotterdam) and functioned as normal, 4G and high speed. As I wasn't busy, I turned around and went back toward Amersfoort and sure enough the data connection was lost despite showing full signal (E).
So I went back via the north (Amsterdam way) and again, the data speed/reliability only came back as I approached the coast.
Today, at the west coast, I have the same data problem I had in Amersfoort - bursts of data every 15 minutes or so.
I'm 5Gb into my allowance.
Genuinely pointless having it.

Also just returned to the UK and I get 4G happily here. Clearly brexit export restrictions on data 😂

@adamwalker I'm currently in Norway experiencing the same issue, only 2G despite 4G enabled on the phone. 3G is unavailable in Norway. I'm unable to PM as I'm a new user. Are you able to PM me? Thank you.

Hey all,
My colleague in second line support has advised that the issue appears to be affecting iPhones, though not for everybody.
Normally they'd need examples of the times you've tried to use the service abroad and for you to be away for at least 2 weeks to carry out an investigation on a singleton basis. However, as this appears to be an issue for many people, they can raise it as a multiple user problem, but would need the following info from around ~15 people.
Account ref/mobile number:
Dates you were away:
Issue that occurred:
Location:
Make and model of handset:
Software version:
If you can drop me a PM with this information, I'll get a list going to send across to my colleague for further investigation.

Just to provide an update on this. As well as the above info, message me which network(s) you've tried roaming on.
It's also worth making sure data roaming is enabled. How to do this can vary from phone to phone, but for an iPhone running the latest iOS, you'd go to Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options. From there you'll have to make sure "Data Roaming" is toggled on and under the "Voice & Data" options, try selecting 4G.

Note elsewhere reports of two people having similar phones - one gets roaming the other does not. Switch the SIM between the two phones and the issue follows the SIM.

Hi
My wife and I are experiencing the exact problem with data to our Android mobiles being virtually unusable as it is so slow. We have been in Germany since the 2nd May, returning to the UK at the end of the month. I have all the details you requested but as this is my first post and if I understand it correctly, I cannot message you with them until after this post. Fingers crossed!
Cheers
