No, it even did it when in known locations with strong signals, the 
battery only started dropping like a stone once the 7.0 upgrade was 
installed, it had been fine beforehand ... and thankfully it's back to 
2-3 days life rather than 1/2 to 2/3 of a day life again.

I'll keep an eye on it ... interesting that there's a suspicion that 
5GHz vs 2.4Ghz may be behind the issue (I'm setup to favour 5GHz) also 
the developer wifi debugging is handy.
