Update: 10 April 2025
Over the past few months, our engineers have been continuing negotiations with the site provider to agree the terms of the build and access the area to start building the equipment for the new mast. Once all negotiations with the site provider have been completed, we can start building the equipment needed and confirm an approximate on-air date for the new mast.
We will keep you updated on this post.

We are aware of a signal issue that is affecting some of our customers in the Wednesbury area. Our mast in the area had to be removed from the existing site at the end of November 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.
Our engineers have completed surveys and designs at one location, and found the area will be suitable for the equipment. We are currently working with the landowner to access the area and start building the equipment needed for the new mast. Pending a positive outcome from the negations, we can start building the equipment and confirm an approximate on-air date for the new mast.
We will keep you updated on this post.

Stuff like this really is a ***t show. Everyone knows that this new mast should of been in place prior to the old one being dismantled if ee if anyway shape or form, valued their customer service but they don’t and so everyone effected will continue to be effected probably for some time yet.

Still negotiating?

I mean, I know it is not funny, but still…
I wouldn’t bet on this being rectified before Santa visits again in all seriousness

Service been absolutely terrible the last couple of months I’m currently selling my house so phone calls are really crucial At this time .i have found myself running upstairs , out to the back garden and in the street just trying to get a decent signal . It’s all been frustrating and stressful. I’m hoping that this issue is solved promptly I’m at the end of my tether . And hope compensation is forthcoming for the terrible service for which we can’t surely be expected to pay full price for.

An update on my original post.. After months of no signal while at home or within my area, relying on WiFi calls, driving away from home with my young child at random times just to call doctors/ work/ family/ businesses, I've finally come to the end of the road with EE after being a loyal customer for over 20 years. It was finally confirmed that EE were unsure of when or even IF the mast would be replaced and I was offered one month where I don't have to pay my bill and the option to leave EE without obligation, which I'm now in the process of doing and finding a new deal with a different provider and getting the pac code to keep my number. It's been a stressful few months and it's unrealistic for EE to expect anyone else affected by this to wait any longer for something that may never happen..

Are we going to be compensated as it's been months that I have not been able to access mobile data. I have three contracts with you and it is the same on all of them!

Will there be any compensation as not everyone can access to Wi-Fi?
