Thanks as always for the results seems they have stabilised there customer loss now. Surprising that they have listed WiFi Calling customers now. Good achievement though to have got half there customers onto 4G.
If they are at 93% now I would be surprised if they can reach 98% by end of year that 5% is going to be extremely tricky I would imagine. Anyone think they can manage it? |

I suspect you're right enapace. 98% seems a point or two too far for the end of the year.
Maybe we'll never see a press release from EE saying they've reached 98% and it will fall to BT to inform everyone they've given us 98% before anyone else! |

Nah, once BT take over investment will dry up and it'll all fall into decline probably.
BT don't like investment! Unless Swantee stays in charge and is allowed to do what he likes. That never happens of course. Will be just like FT taking over Orange. Snook left and it all went t*ts up. Ah well, it was good while it lasted. But hey, silver lining, it's Back to the Future day today, I've already been on Amazon and ordered 2 flying cars and a hover board! |

Expect by end of year EE will be at 95-97% and probably make 98% by end of Q1. Hopefully then we start seeing more density added to the network and 800MHz rollout. I'm still waiting see if BT deliver 90% Superfast fixed line by end of year expect that will slip till Q1 as well. Quote:

Plus EE needs continue investment so they make the 90% Geographic Coverage Obligation they agreed to. |

In fairness BT buyout could still be approved before end of year not outside realm of possibility.

Think your forgetting BT already saying they investing in G.Fast which isn't going to be cheap however you look at it Devon. You probably right in thinking it won't benefit rural areas sadly but think you used to that by now. Can't see government willing to do another BDUK to help push Fibre to DP but if they did probably would be last time they would ever need to. Plus EE needs continue investment so they make the 90% Geographic Coverage Obligation they agreed to. I think that will require 800 on one hell of a lot of rural sites. The geography down here means it would need to be on most of them to get into all the nooks and crannies. Do you know what the current geographic figure is? Was it 72 - 75% or something? |

It's a good point about what happens to Olaf. Obviously we've had the public comments that he'll stay during the handover as one would expect but what about after? He's had a pretty free rein running EE. I suspect if EE remains a standalone mobile operation within BT just with a branding change then he could stay. However, if it's subsumed into BT existing consumer/business divisions and he finds himself reporting to the existing heads of those then he won't stick around. Presumably he has the option of returning to Orange. Alternatively Vodafone's HQ is just a 5 minute walk from his existing office so maybe they might want to snap him up with minimal disruption to his personal life.
Good parallel with Orange/FT/Snook (except Olaf comes from FT/Orange)! They haven't though, so they won't. |

Yeah I suppose. I'd forgotten about the 90% thing.

I kind of meant EE's 2G coverage when I said that really!
![]() (sort of taking into account that 4G1800 will hopefully be cranked up at some point). Clearly 3G or 4G is nowhere near that. Even if it was currently 75% then I can't see how 800 will fill the next 15% but maybe it will. |

Slightly off topic, but I've noticed in the past week or so quite a few references to this "Snook" guy, I presume he's someone from the past, when I wasn't quite as in on the networks as I am today, could someone explain who he was to me?

800 will be good. I haven't got a phone that can use it (on 3) but I've got one that can see it and shows a decent signal at 13 miles from the mast. So I'm thinking it will fill in a hell of a lot of not spots. If it's restricted, as with 3, to certain VoLTE handsets, EE and 3 will suddenly have the jump on the long term voice superiority of VO2 in most rural parts of the UK.

In Ofcom's last annual infrastructure report (there should be a new one out in a couple of months), EE's geographic 2G coverage was 78%. However this used a pretty tough signal threshold of -86dBm. For the 90% obligation, the threshold for 2G will be -93dBm.
So they're already a lot closer without doing anything! Are they going for 4G at 90% I can't remember now? I suppose if 2G is at 90% and enough sites are 800 then 4G will beat it anyway. |

Wore a leather jacket all the time, probably still does, likes colonic irrigation and chain smokes He took (or takes) a cocktail of vitamins in an effort to counteract the carcinogens. Yes, he's still alive!

-93 is still a pretty good signal though.

Yeah, they said 90% geo 4G is the target.

End of an era as these are probably the last set of results to be reported independently of BT.
EE results for the quarter ending December 2015 (2015 Oct-Dec). Comparatives are with the previous quarter (2015 Jul-Sep) and the same quarter a year ago (2014 Oct-Dec). Mobile service revenue: £1380m (2015 Jul-Sep: £1391m, 2014 Oct-Dec: £1415m) Mobile Customers - Total: 24.187m (2015 Sep: 24.198m, 2014 Dec: 24.476m) Mobile Customers - Contract: 15.338m (2015 Sep: 15.197m, 2014 Dec: 14.901m) Mobile Customers - Prepaid: 8.849m (2015 Sep: 9.001m, 2014 Dec: 9.575m) 4G Customers: 14m 4G Outdoor Population Coverage: 95% (Double speed 80%) |

And on that cheerful note, look what BT have up their sleeves ready for any forward thinking mobile operator. Why have fibre when you could have copper...?

http://www.btplc.com/News/#/pressrel...rds-5g-1312992 Guess those bean counters will be heading to EE to put a stop to investment after 4G roll out is complete. |
