A further 24 villages and hamlets in the Welsh counties of Clwyd, Dyfed, Gwent, Gwynedd and West Glamorga have now gained access to faster 4G<\/a> based mobile phone and mobile broadband services after O2<\/a> expanded the reach of their network. The upgrades have all taken place since the start of 2019.<\/p>\n

Since the beginning of the year, 4G<\/a> has been launched in the following rural communities: Argoed, Felindre, Llanengan, Nash, Ashfield, Fochriw, Llangadog, Pantglas, Babel, Glan-Traeth, Llangian, Pantymwyn, Botwnnog, Gwernaffield, Llanmorlais, Rhedyn, Bynea, Landimore, Manordeilo, Towyn, Cilcain, Llandegwning, Nanhoron, Trearddur.<\/p>\n

Derek McManus, COO of O2<\/a> UK, said: “I\u2019m delighted that O2<\/a> customers in more rural communities in Wales can now experience faster mobile internet. We continue to invest in bringing data coverage to as many locations as possible and have put forward an industry led proposal around a Single Rural Network which we believe is the best way to provide coverage in rural areas. We are already working with government on what this proposed network will look like \u2013 and we hope to announce further progress on this front shortly<\/em>.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
