MACNEIL MEETS WITH MOBILE NETWORK OPERATOR ‘EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE LTD’
Angus MacNeil MP yesterday met with representatives from mobile network operator, Everything Everywhere Ltd, following a spate of disruptions to the Orange mobile signal in Uig on the Isle of Lewis.
Mr MacNeil said: “In Uig on the Isle of Lewis, Orange customers have been experiencing extensive outages with their Orange mobile signal and in some instances it took in the region of two weeks to be repaired. I contacted the mobile network operator, Everything Everywhere Ltd on behalf of Orange customers and today relayed their concerns.
“On the positive side, Orange assured me that they are looking to improve their rural coverage in the islands, by upgrading their equipment in the coming years. I of course urged them to improve coverage. They conceded renewal may not happen as soon as I would like and stressed they were a private company rather than a utility.
“However, I do urge Orange and Vodafone to cooperate so both companies can provide decent networks in the islands, rather than a patchwork of both.”
25,000 NHS jobs to go over the next 3 years.
Abu Quatada to stay in UK
H7N9 birdflu virus in China the deadliest so far.
5.7 earthquake in Islamabad.
70 dead in Bangladesh building collapse.
And what are islanders concerned about? Their mobile signal and the fact that their newspapers are late!!!! GET A LIFE people!!!
yes Tina you are so right . why should the MP bother with local issues that are his legal responsibility while people like you are fretting over world events ??
Hahahaha Jeff M, you misunderstand me.
I am not knocking our MPs efforts, just questioning whether in the grand scheme of things such trivialities can really be perceived as “news”.
Tina
It follows on from his obsession with the mobile phone signal in Rwanda some time back. The two may be connected.
its safer than tackling some real issues that are dictated by the SNP in Holyrood,and everyone knows you do not have a dog that bites its masters.So RET,ferries,airplanes 25% pay cuts,are off the agenda unless its to attack others on the periphery
Exactly!
This is the sixth year in a row he has run this campaign, with not a scintilla of success yet.
Anyone ever see the ‘mobile coverage’ map (sic) the SNP coloured in when driving from Stornoway to Harris and back???
Actually I’ve just read it … Why on earth would any MP advertise his failure to achieve a result? ….
The Angus Brendan Macneil has succeeded in degrading the role of MP to that of illiterate, inadequate, inept court jester, ignoring the big issues in his constituency- failing ferries, ailing air services, health services slashed, port staff pay plundered, and there he is in all his puffed up glory issuing pathetic press releases about everything everywhere. The man is truly a menace, a comic marvel.
Did The ABM, MP, ask Vodafone why they don’t pay their tax bill?
No, that would be much too sensible!
“Isles MP meets everything everywhere” My first thoughts on reading this impressive headline claim was that Angus Brendan Macneil had been miraculously transformed into an omniscient and omnipotent Deity,whose latest encounter on behalf of his constituents would lead us all into the Kingdom of Heaven.But the true explanation was much more down to earth.
Angus Macneil, well paid crofter/part-time MP, has got his priorities at this time of year all wrong. Rather than try to impress his long-suffering constituents by attending a fruitless showpiece meeting with a ridiculously named phone company, he should instead be attending to the needs of his lambing ewes.
Everything Everywhere meet Nodding Nobody.
