We are aware of a signal issue that is affecting some of our customers in the Stanley 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 have located a new area for the mast to be installed, and we are currently carrying out surveys at the site to make sure the area will be suitable for the equipment. Once all surveys are complete, we will begin steps to legally acquire the land from the site provider. Once all legal steps have been completed, we can start building the equipment needed for the new mast and confirm an approximate on-air date for the new mast.

You can only do that in your own house so does not solve anything.

hi do you have an update on the mast for DH9 area stanley. The mast was removed December it is now May? so you should know if you can purchase the new land by now as without this it is highly unlikely you can sort the issue.
regards.

Have no 5G signal for the last 10 days. Never had an issue previously

This has significantly impacted me and my business. The service has been terrible for months and months and there has been no sign of reimbursement of service payments.
I have been suffering in silence for months, unaware that the mast had been removed. We should have been notified. The implications are huge for me and my business.
Please inform me of what action I can take towards EE for this low standard of customer care and taking payments for a service which isn’t there.

Hi @Jayne1905
I'm so sorry to hear that you've been impacted by this, and I understand how concerning this must be for you.
If you register your details on our Service Checker, then we will be able to keep you updated about any work happening nearby, so this doesn't happen again.
I would recommend reaching out to our Technical experts, and they will be able to look into what has happened until now, and discuss compensation for this with you.

This problem is still happening, it’s been like this far to long now, calls drop when outside of my home I can’t send a message, sometimes it doesn’t even let me make a call at all. No internet access unless connected to WiFi, and when I go on to get updates about the service it says there’s an on going issue and we will update once sorted to then receive a text message saying
Network update: The problem at DH90UY has now been fixed, we recommend you restart your device. If you have already done this and are still having problems, please call us on 150.
so I restart my phone and the problem is still there it’s been like this since last year when I renewed all 5 of my households phone

If this issue is now resolved can the dh2 area be looked at? Currently sat with 0 signal and even wifi calling drops and is choppy, might need to move away from EE for mobile and Internet at this rate

Hi @Shigsy
Thanks for coming to the community.
If you're having signal issues in the area, our Service status checker will show any reported problems for the postcode. If we have no reported problems, you can report the signal issues you're having and the network team will get this looked into.

Reported only to be told that theres no issue in the area, maybe someone should come to the area and actually test it instead of using a tool to do a network test on a computer, my zero bars says otherwise to there being an issue as does every delivery driver who asks to use our wifi to complete a delivery, definitely think this might be my last EE contract even after more than 15 years

Hi @Shigsy
Thanks for coming back to me.
