Mobile network EE has announced the expansion of its 4G coverage in four locations in Oxfordshire as part of a Government initiative to stamp out so-called signal 'not-spots' in rural areas.
Locations to receive a much-needed boost this year in the county include the area around the A44, Glympton, Kiddington, Enstone and Hook Norton.
The mobile operator, which is owned by BT, has already upgraded its network in 110 areas since March last year and plans a further 469 upgrades by the end of 2021.
Matt Warman, Minister for Digital Infrastructure, said: "I am delighted to see the great strides EE is making to boost 4G services in countryside communities as part of the Shared Rural Network agreement, which was brokered and is part funded by the government.
"We are investing half a billion pounds in this landmark deal to extend mobile coverage to 95 per cent of the UK and it will help us build back better from the pandemic."
