4g mobile broadband outage

[Channers40]

Hello, I have the same problem, I'm in the sn7 area and was told that the mast was having issues from the 31st Aug it's now the 7th and still not fixed! Over a week without service is simply not good enough I'm seriously thinking of leaving.

Is your loss of service reported under "check status" on the status tool ?

Ohh you bet it is!! I got told from a tech agent that they need a replacement part! It's 2022 how long do you need to get a new part.

Depends entirely on what the part is.

If the fault is recognised and being worked on, that's encouraging.

If that's the case why not have a contingency plan in place then? People rely on their phones for work emergencies etc! 7 days without a simple service is bad especially when 100s of people are effected by it

Outages and faults on network sites are entirely "BAU" for EE and all other mobile operators, the best contingency plan is to fix all faults as quickly as possible. From what you've posted so far, that's in-hand.

It's unfortunate when a single site outage causes a total loss of coverage in an area, but it's not always avoidable.

I work in this industry and I know the longest amount of time for the worst case! Something this bad of an outage is bad for a company who say they have everything everywhere.

Just a head up it’s called EE not everything everywhere.  It’s not been called that since 2012.

Well to educate you EE stands for everything everywhere!!! You're welcome.
