Update: 10 June 2025

Over the past few months, our engineers have been continuing the legal negotiations with the site provider to agree the terms for the build to start. Once the terms have been accepted and we have a date to access the area and start building the equipment needed for the new mast, we can 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.

Agree totally with this! 

My Mother (and Father) have both missed important hospital appointments because of the lack of signal in the area! 

The "get in touch/complain for a refund " but having to every month is unacceptable! Especially when you hear stories that people only get a couple of months refund before it stops? 

And the connect for "WiFi calls" doesn't help when their phones don't have the connection availability nor does them getting a new phone!?

Still no update? We moved here 1 1/2 years ago and still no EE coverage? What are the engineers negotiating, to build a shopping complex? This is beyond the joke now, tempted to move away from EE. Can someone give some positive news for once?

Is there any news on this topic as it’s getting past a joke now with no signal when out in the area! I’m missing important hospital calls while out.
