Update: 11 December 2025
Over the past few weeks, our engineers have installed the microwave link needed for the transmission and integrated the mast onto the network. The new mast is now on-air, and to further improve coverage to the area, our engineers will be completing upgrades on the mast to increase capacity and improve service in Great Blakenham. We expect all work to completed by the end of next week.
We will continue to monitor performance in the area.
Update: 10 November 2025
Over the past few weeks, the power company has accessed the site and installed the power supply needed for the new mast. Our engineers will be completing surveys in the next week to make sure the equipment will be suitable for a microwave link to be installed, to supply transmission to the mast. Pending a positive outcome from the surveys, we can confirm an approximate on-air date for the new mast.
We will keep you updated on this post
Update: 22 October 2025
Our engineers are working with the power company to arrange a date to access the area and install the power supply and transmission needed for the new mast. Once the power supply has been installed, we can start integrating the mast onto the network.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we expect all work to be completed and the mast to be on-air by the end of 2025.
We will keep you updated on this post.
We are in the process of replacing a mast in the Great Blakenham area as the current lease has expired.
Our engineers have completed building the equipment for the new mast. The next step is for power and transmission to be installed. Once complete, we will be able to share an approximate on-air date.
We'll update this post once we have more information.

I can confirm I have a signal too, it's back to the rubbish signal I used to have. 1 or 2 bars, 6mbps download. Hit and miss audio calls. I was hoping for an improvement, assuming I am connected to the new mast.

Might be worth resetting your phone, doesn’t sound like your connected to the new mast, my signal was 3/4 bars and had a 250mb download speed last night

Tried that and no better; as I say, it is the same as before. I had spoken to EE before about it a couple of years back, and they said that was the best I was likely to get.
