we want 3/4g across the whole of Badenoch and strathspey by all providers
Updates
February 19, 2015
I really never thought this would gain this much steam but it feels like the whole valley is finally tired of staring at those tiny bars on our phones. It is honestly such a relief to see everyone coming together because honestly who even wants to drive ten miles just to load a map or check an email anymore.

Phone signal is bad enough in the middle of Grantown (vodafone), unable to get any data from the limited network available in the village (maybe if I waited 10 minutes to view an email but always give up long before that).
It is ridiculous that there is limited 3G in the area. Many other highland areas have it. Why don't we!
It's a necessity to be able to compete economically with the rest of the UK and further afield - with our reliance on outdoor actvities having good access to 3/4g is essential both from a provider and client perspective allowing access to avalanche forecasts and weather forecasts whilst on the move.
With all the tourism in the area it is embarrassing that the tourists can't share their experiences on social networks while they are staying here!
The right thing to do, let's get distributed speed and make it possible to grow our "at home" work capability!
3g is the way everyone else in the country is connected and we need this access for visitors and locals as well.
Crucial for economy of Scottish Highlands in 21st Century to be 'properly connected'.

such vast areas, such dangerous roads and terrain, negligible public transport, let us be properly safe and be able to have a phone signal throughout the area.
