Mobile-phone network O2 has announced it started work this week to bring its 4G service to Ellingham as well as improving its 2G and 3G network.

Work was scheduled to be completed by yesterday and subject to successful implementation and testing, customers will see the new and improved service shortly afterwards.

O2 currently offers 4G in over 530 towns and cities across the UK and is the only network to have made a commitment to Ofcom, the telecommunications regulator, to provide indoor coverage for 98 per cent of the UK population by the end of 2017.(from northnumberlandgazette.co.uk)
