Sudden drop in data speeds in Glasgow

[cyrillicguy]

Just noticed a significant drop in data speeds in Glasgow town center. 3-4Mbps on 4G (normally getting round 10Mbps on average in that area), and 3G data does not seem to be working at all (showing a full 3G signal though). O2 Network Status does not reveal any issues, all is working fine according to them.

Anyone else experiencing any similar issues right now?

A bit of a stab here in guessing the centre of Glasgow is G1?

If so they are working on the masts upgrading to 4G.

  Our network is currently working fine

  If we're doing work on the phone masts near you we'll tell you about it here.

  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'.

  We’re sorry about that, but we’ll do our best to minimise any impact to your signal.

Or I could be completely wrong.......

G2, G4 actually,  sorry for not clarifying this, although who knows...  my phone could've been connected to some mast which is "assigned"  to a different postcode..

hi there @cyrillicguy 

I've investigated it and there is a massive job going on in that area and what you are experiencing is probably the result of the work being done. Unfortunately there's going to be quite a bit of work between the 12/03 and 22/03 so it may get worse...just to let you know....

On the other hand when they finish you will notice the improvements!
