O2 UK Complete 4G and 5G Upgrades for 600 Postcodes in Aberdeen

Mobile network operator O2 (Virgin Media) has today announced that they’ve completed a project to upgrade the capacity of their 4G and 5G based mobile services across “over” 600 postcodes in the port city of Aberdeen (Scotland), which should mean “faster” mobile broadband speeds and greater reliability.

The work, which began at the start of 2024, forms part of O2’s ongoing effort to invest £2m a day into their mobile network, which enables them to deploy new technologies and keep up with increasing customer demand. All mobile operators have to conduct similar work. This comes against a backdrop of rising demand, with the amount of mobile data consumed by O2 customers increasing 26% in 2023.

Steven Verigotta, Director of Mobile Delivery at VMO2, said: “With customers using more data than ever before, the improvements we’ve made at over 600 postcodes in Aberdeen will ensure local people and businesses can access reliable connectivity that is so essential in the modern world. We are continuing to invest in our network with future upgrades planned to ensure that we can continue to support our customers both now and in future.”
