[Ovmsdev] Connection issues

[Matt Beard OVMS]

There is a historical oddity in the UK as T-Mobile (TMO UK) and Orange used
to be two separate networks, but are now the same company. Both physical
networks work at times, but both also fail at times. This is true in a wide
area (I have tried as far south as Perth which is about 100 miles away) so
it can't be an issue with the local cell tower. There is no O2 coverage in
my area of the country (despite what their coverage map claims).  I think I
may need to return the hardware.
