We are aware of a signal issue that is affecting some of our customers in the Wigan area. Our mast in the area had to be removed from the existing site in March 2026, as the building is being redeveloped.
Our engineers began looking for a new location as soon as we were made aware our equipment had to be removed. We have located an area for the new mast and are currently working with the site provider to access the area and conduct surveys to make sure the area 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.
Our engineers are looking at other temporary options to restore service as quickly as possible to Wigan.
We will keep you updated on this post.
