Why coverage varies on this route

From Milngavie the Way slips quickly out of Glasgow's coverage bubble and into glens where UK carriers differ sharply. Rannoch Moor and the sections toward Glen Coe are famously quiet — for phones as well as people — and the carrier that covers Loch Lomond's shore is not always the one that reaches Kinlochleven.
