Update: 28 May 2025

Over the past few months, our engineers have completed legal negotiations and have legally acquired the land from the landowner. The equipment will be built on a high rise building and we are working with the council to make sure full regulations and health and safety rules are met, before we can start building the equipment needed for the new mast.

We will keep you updated on this post.

Update: 28 February 2025

Over the past few months, our engineers have been continuing legal negotiations to legally acquire the land from the landowner and start building the equipment needed for the new mast. Once all legal steps have been completed, we can start building the equipment needed and confirm an approximate on-air date for the new mast.

For the second location, following negotiations with the site provider, we have found the area will no longer be suitable for a new mast. Our engineers will be progressing with the first location for the new mast.

Update: 11 September 2024

Over the past few months, our engineers have submitted the designs needed as part of the legal steps and they have been approved. Once all legal steps have been completed to legally acquire the land from the landowner, we can start building the equipment needed for the new mast and confirm an approximate on-air date.

For the second location, in case on any complications with the first location, our engineers are continuing legal negotiations to legally acquire the land from the landowner. Pending a positive outcome from the legal negotiations, we can start building the equipment needed and confirm an approximate on-air date for the new mast.

We’re aware of a signal issue that is affecting some of our customers in the Isle of Dogs.

Our mast in the area had to be removed from the existing site in June 2022 due to the area being redeveloped. As soon as we were made aware our equipment would need to be relocated, our engineers began looking for a new location for the mast. We have located two new locations for the mast to be installed, in case of any complications at either site.

Our engineers have completed designs at the first location, and the designs have passed health and safety checks to make sure the area will be suitable for the equipment. We are currently progressing with legal steps to acquire the land from the site provider. Pending a positive outcome from the legal hearing, we will start building the equipment needed for the new mast and confirm an approximate on-air date.

For the second location, our engineers have visited the area and completed designs, these have been submitted for approval. Pending a positive outcome from the designs, we will start legal proceedings to acquire the land from the site provider and start building the equipment needed for the new mast.

I have been pretty much completely unable to use my phone in my local area because of this issue for a couple of months and not once was I informed by ee that my service would be degraded to such a terrible state that I can't even make calls sometimes. I want some compensation as this is completely unacceptable. The lack of communication from a communications company is hilarious. I cannot even contact support. webchat is always broken or offline, the report a problem page doesn't work, and making a call to support ends in randomly being disconnected when you are on hold after waiting for 40 minutes. oh and the check courage page doesn't recognize my postcode or find my location. nothing in your line of services works as it should.

James_B · ‎04-12-2023

Hi @InfinitePain,

I'm sorry to hear your postcode isn't recognised by our network status checker. Is it a recently built property?

I'm not aware of any current issues with our phone lines. Have you tried calling recently?

If you'd like to contact our messaging team, please select the help tab in the EE app.

InfinitePain · ‎07-12-2023

No it's not a new build. My postcode is E14 3TQ. I have seen on this thread that there has been an ongoing issue in my area that pre-dates my contract so I would like to know why I was not warned about this when signing up for a contract first, secondly, I would like to know if my contract price can be reduced due to the sup-par service.

Thanks

InfinitePain · ‎07-12-2023

I've tried many times, I get disconnected after around 40 mins of hold time. Can I schedule someone call me? Why is there no email support?

Leanne_T · ‎07-12-2023

Hi @InfinitePain

Sorry we have no email contact, if you call 150 you will have the option for technical support please select this option and the team will certainly see what they can do to help.

Leanne.

InfinitePain · ‎07-12-2023

As stated I cannot. The reception in my area is too poor and after 40 mins on hold I always get disconnected. Web chat is also down. There must be a way to get EE to call me?

Leanne_T · ‎07-12-2023

Hi @InfinitePain

Sorry we have no account access on the community. You can contact us from an alternative phone, please see our Contact us about your mobile phone (ee.co.uk) page for details.

I just got off the phone with a rep that said this post isnt real and there is no problem in my area. I live in E14 3TQ and more often than not I am reduced to 3g signal quality and cannot make or receive calls. I am also overcharged each month by ee adding a late payment to my direct debit. This is insane!!!!!!
