Update: 6 March 2025

Over the past few days, our engineers have accessed the area and completed integrating the mast onto the network. The mast is now on-air, restoring full service to the Stacksteads area.

We will continue to monitor performance in the area.


Update: 28 February 2025

Over the past few weeks, our engineers have been working with the site provider to agree a date to access the area and start integrating the mast onto the network. Barring any unforeseen delays, we expect to access the area and start the integration next week, and the mast to be on-air by the middle of March.

We will keep you updated on this post.


Update: 07 February 2025

Over the past few weeks, our engineers have accessed the area and found the generator used to power the mast was faulty. We have completed the work needed on the generator for the power supply and are working to agree a date for the integration of the mast onto the network. Once the integration has started, we can confirm an approximate on-air date for the new mast.

We will keep you updated on this post. 


Update: 17 January 2025

Over the past week, our engineers have been working to agree a date for the integration of the mast onto the network to start. Barring any unforeseen delays, we expect the integration to be completed and the mast to be on-air by the beginning of February, restoring full service to the area.

Update: 14 November 2024

Over the past few months, our engineers have completed building the equipment needed for the new mast.

Update: 02 September 2024

Our engineers have been working to source the parts needed to start building the equipment needed for the new mast. Due to stock availability, the build has been slightly delayed. Barring any further unforeseen delays, we expect the equipment to be available and the build to start by the end of October. Once the equipment has been built, we can confirm an approximate on-air date for the new mast.

We will keep you updated on this post.


Update: 19 July 2024

Update: 03 May 2024

Our engineers have been working with the council to complete the legal negotiations. However, due to circumstances out of our control, we have experienced a further delay and expect all legal steps to be completed by the end of May. Pending a positive outcome from the legal negotiations, we will start building the equipment needed for the new mast and confirm an approximate on-air date.

Update: 04 March 2024

Over the past few months, our engineers have started legal negotiations with the council to legally acquire the land, and we expect all legal steps to be completed by the end of March.

We are aware of a signal issue that is affecting some of our customers in the Stacksteads area. Our mast in the area had to be removed from the existing site in December 2023, 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, and we have located a new area. We have started legal negotiations with the council to acquire the land and complete surveys at the location to make sure this will be suitable for the equipment. Once all legal steps and surveys have been completed, we can start building the equipment needed for the new mast and confirm an approximate on-air date.

We will keep you updated on this post.

I have had issues with no network no data struggles people can't ring me I can't ring them I pay for a service you do not provide yet you will not let any of us leave contracts it's been going on now for over a year. I got the ombudsman involved and you have the cheek to tell them my issue and complaints are less than 8 weeks old they are over a year old all you do is fob me off saying it's WiFi providers issue not yours tell me now WiFi callings issue and should work if off no network available if off tell me to ookla speed tests no network available is all it ever says best you can offer if 20% off next 3 months and to tell NHS who try to call me they should be aware of the traffic on your signal posts?? You guys are surely in the wrong legally! You should a very least be compensating us all properly for the year you know has been affected by these posts and lack of and us having no service for foreseeable you should be allowing us to end contracts as you can not offer service we shouldn't be forced to pay for no service..

Hi @natsor86, when it comes to the Ombudsman, you can turn to them for advice regarding any issues round your service. 

They will only step in for a formal review if a complaint case on your account has been open for more than 8 weeks, or if our dedicated complaints team issue you with an official letter of deadlock. 

You can find all the details you need about our complaints code of practice, including how to log this with our team, here:

I was Out of Contract and just Paid Monthly. So after roughly 3 Months of
no signal I told them I was leaving & walked away. EE reimbursed.me for No
Service.

I'm happy where I am at the moment, even though I can see EE's New
Transmitter from my property. A year was just too long to wait for it.
