Works starts on new 4G network

RESIDENTS in Delph will be able to access high speed mobile internet as O2 extends its services to more rural areas.

The mobile phone network has announced it has started work to bring its 4G service to Delph as well as improving its 2G and 3G network.

Work is scheduled to start the week commencing Monday, July 17 and, subject to successful implementation and testing, customers will see the new service in the following weeks.

During the work, there may be times when a customer's signal experiences intermittent service.

Derek McManus, chief operating officer for Telefónica UK, said: "I'm delighted that O2 customers in Delph will soon be able to experience faster mobile internet making everything easier when using their phone or tablet."
