LU/Elizabeth Line 4G update

[Gigabit]

I am not sure they'd want to pay for anything more than they have to. If it's above ground and outdoors, they'd be happy to rely on whatever coverage there is. Of course that leads to the obvious problem of coverage blackspots, especially with some of the old station construction materials and corridors/tunnels etc.

The best they could/should do is allow access to their property to add small cells or whatever, but that would likely be separate to the company rolling out dedicated equipment within stations. I see how that might seem confusing, but the two things are separate - even if a phone user, hopefully, swaps from one to another without issue.

I don't see why it should be separate. Just use the same equipment they're using in Underground stations, above ground.

Whitechapel, Canary Wharf and Woolwich seemed to go live today

They have at least on Vodafone, but when I last heard they weren't live on EE this morning.

There's past preference for this - didn't Rabbit telepoint have cells in a few LU stations?

Yep, and some NR stations too.

Used the Victoria Line again between Euston and Oxford Circus again. My EE sim had no signal but on my O2 sim I did have signal. Previously I had signal on EE.

Maybe testing? Hopefully going live soon. There feels like such a lot of time needs to be made up in the rollout.

Yeah, same today. O2 is the only one live. Only in the tunnels — station equipment is still off.
