Orange Loses Legal Action Over Poor Coverage

A British customer has won a court action after successfully suing the Orange network operator over poor coverage at his home and office in South London. Tom Prescott, 32, took Orange to court after they refused to cancel his 18 month contract when he complained about the poor coverage.

He argued that as the operator was willing to offer 18-month contracts, then it should have a reasonable expectation of being able to offer a service.

He won his case at Brentford county court and was awarded £500 (US$722).
