Over the next 12 months, as part of the Telefónica Worldwide Strategic Plan for networks, we’re upgrading the 3G sites in every town, city and rural area north of Birmingham to the latest kit.
The next phase of our work will be in West Edinburgh (Cumbernauld, Grangemouth and Livingston) from 13 – 17 February 2012. The impact will vary depending on how many sites we’re working on in the area and how long the work takes.
This means that customers might not get 3G for up to half a day, depending on where they are. In most areas customers will still be able to use 2G, but data services (like the internet) might be slower. In a small number of cases, customer may lose their service entirely for a short time, however we’ll keep this to a minimum. Some customers won’t see any impact at all.
We’ve planned the work so that any disruption is kept to a minimum. However it has to take place during daylight hours, because our engineers will be climbing sites and using heavy equipment and need natural light to be safe.
