WEST WORCESTERSHIRE MP Harriett Baldwin’s campaign to get better signals for Upton-upon-Severn has taken a step forward this week with Everything Everywhere confirming that a local upgrade is close.
The mobile phone operator has written to Harriett confirming that plans are underway to bring an upgraded 4G signal to the town in the coming months.
EE chief executive Olaf Swantee has written confirming that the roll out of a 4G signal is planned, allowing better signals both outdoors and indoors.
Harriett commented: “I am pleased that one of the mobile phone operators that I contacted has been able to offer good news and I look forward to hearing more detail on this roll-out in due course.
“I haven’t yet heard of any other plans to upgrade signals so I would urge EE users to let me know when they get access to 4G in Upton and to encourage local people to then switch to that network.
“Rather like energy providers or banks, large organisations like Vodafone, 02 and Three only tend to get the message when they start losing customers so maybe this will nudge other operators to take this issue seriously.”
