To add on
Out of interest are you using voda sims?

Was a problem over the weekend after a break in at an exchange centre, several users left without calls, texts and mobile internet

If the equipment was nicked in the small hours of Monday then it can’t have affected the weekend unless they nicked the time warp module.

We saw a similar one last week when the bad guys stole all the copper an Orange site in Royton near Oldham. It caused a bit of slowness and some loss of the GPS in surrounding areas but it stayed just about workable. The week before we had another copper theft but this time on a remote radio site and that was off for three days.

All good stuff!
