Update: 14 November 2024
Over the past few days, our engineers have completed integrating the mast onto the network and the mast is now on-air. Full service has been restored to Northampton.
Update: 07 November 2024
Over the past few weeks, our engineers have completed building the equipment needed for the new mast. Unfortunately, due to circumstances out of our control, we have experienced a slight delay integrating the mast onto the network and are currently awaiting a date for the integration to be completed. Once we have a date for the integration, we can confirm an approximate on-air date for the new mast.
We will keep you updated on this post.
Update: 08 October 2024
Over the past few weeks, our engineers have started building the equipment needed for the new mast. Barring any unforeseen delays, we expect all work to be completed and the mast to be on-air by the start of November.
We will keep you updated on this post.
Update: 25 July 2024
Our engineers have secured legal access at the first location to start building the equipment needed for the new mast. Barring any unforeseen delays, we expect to start building the equipment during September and can confirm an approximate on-air date once the site is built.
For the second location (as a back-up in case of any unforeseen problems with the first area), our engineers are conducting surveys to make sure the area will be suitable for the new mast.
We will keep you updated on this post.
We’re aware of a signal issue that is affecting some of our customers in the Northampton area.
Our mast in the area had to be removed from the existing site at the beginning of July 2024, as this was requested by the landowner. Our engineers began looking for a new location as soon as we were made aware our equipment had to be removed. We have located two potential areas for a new mast and are currently conducting surveys to make sure the locations will be suitable for the equipment.
Pending a positive outcome from the surveys, we can start legal steps to legally acquire the land from the site provider and start building the equipment needed for the new mast.
We will keep you updated on this post.

Yes I am, it's a total joke. New mast has made no difference at all!! I know I'm going to have contact them again but quite frankly it's like pulling teeth, painful 😩

Hi @1968Star
I am sorry you are experiencing signal issues.
Have you reported the problems on the Service Status Checker?
Once reported the network team will get the area looked into and update you.
If you would like to discuss the signal issues, please call us and the team will be happy to help.
Leanne.

C'mon quit with the BS. You KNOW there are still signal issues and can't be bothered to do anything about it. Everybody in the area either has no signal or a very weak signal outdoors. I think a story in the local press is long overdue as the new mast has made sod all difference. Is there even really a new mast? Where is it? Why does it not work? Why are there continual lies coming out of EE's mouth?
You should come down here and experience the dire service EE are providing for yourself. You'll soon see for yourself what a total s*itshow it is.

I have spoken to second level tech team today who stated a marker was placed against the mask for a maintenance check on the 3rd of Jan, following this no error or issues were found. I then requested the complaints team contact me and following a discussion relating to the loss of signal since June they cancelled my contact free of charge. Hope this helps

I spoke to complaints last week- if you guys haven’t left get out now! She confirmed there is an issue with mast but nothing they can see or report. She can’t keep offering me half price off as there isn’t a fault on ee end and ee only guarantee coverage outside not inside.

I wouldn’t do what Leanne recommended, seems like a bot. Best bet to cut through all this is contact complaints. Fill out the form and they’ll get back to you - don’t go through any other avenue, it does not work, trust me leaving ee hurt me but how they are dealing with this is disgusting. I refuse to pay money for poor phone service and customer service
