Good evening everyone.
Just done a random status check to see if anything exciting happening and low and behold this message was there, I live in Newmarket.
"We'll be carrying out some maintenance on our phone masts in this area on the 26 March.
Our Network modernisation programme to improve 2G and 3G coverage and roll out 4G has reached this area. It does mean that you may experience intermittent service on your mobile device while our engineers 'do their thing'."
Does this mean 4G arrives on the 26th March? Or would it be the start of the rollout process that takes a while?

it means they are starting to update the masts to 4g but that could take days/weeks to finish .. so you may get 4g on and off while they are doing the work but hopefully it wont take long for you
enjoy 4g when they are finaly finished ... im still waiting :S

It took 4 weeks, give or take a couple of days, in Bolton from the date on the text and the status page.

Well this is all rather exciting - upgraded my tariff to a 4G one, which completed a few hours ago and trotted out with the dog - looked at phone and saw this. Very weak and very intermittent but there is a 4G signal. Now given the nearest documented 4G signal is over 10 miles away at Cambridge, and according to their coverage falls miles short of Newmarket I don't quite know what to make of it!! Still a good sign I assume!

Good news,you are either picking up from the other mast or they are testing nearer to your home. A good sign anyway.

I've just been into town and was getting 2 bars of 4G quite often - so clearly the process has started, it will be interesting if there is any noticable change in signal strength from the 26th.
