You dug up the main street in our village and only connected the properties within a few metres. As a prospective broadband customer I don’t get access to the service and as a long term O2 customer there is no mobile service over half the village. Good luck to the Uist residents!

Marvellous, 3 4G masts… in 2024. Were they cast offs from Bedfordshire? Why did it take so long?

Delivered in 3 days…. 🤣 After years and years of requesting, complaining, harassing and finally demanding. ‘Ongoing commitment’!! And to only 95%!!!! C’mon! Do much, much better than this. The north of Skye on O2 is sparodic at best. Meanwhile EE is beating your butts. 🙄

Or use Starlink all you need is a satellite dish on your roof , faster and more reliable than 4g

Is there anything planned for Tiree? Previously Virgin jumped onto Vodafone’s network so service and reception was great. Now that o2 have taken over Virgin the signal is hopeless. No 4g signal at ferry terminal, main village or many surrounding areas.
