Could take any time place I live MBNL stood cabinets for a new 5G mast way back in the tail end of 2020 fast forward 3 and half years they are still there with no mast erectedI've been staring at this for 8 months now - it's really quite frustrating. Anyone any thoughts on how long it's likely to be before it's actually switched on? Thank youView attachment 15513
That doesn’t look like a Three POW to me. Could be wrong but I think it might be for VF.I've been staring at this for 8 months now - it's really quite frustrating. Anyone any thoughts on how long it's likely to be before it's actually switched on? Thank youView attachment 15513
I Think they are the phase 9 Three polesThat doesn’t look like a Three POW to me. Could be wrong but I think it might be for VF.
Yeah I think it is a Three PoW, purely by the handle looking thing on the sideThat doesn’t look like a Three POW to me. Could be wrong but I think it might be for VF.
Had no idea the phase 9 poles looked so different. Certainly not come across any round this part of the world.Yeah I think it is a Three PoW, purely by the handle looking thing on the side
My local PoW has that, I assume it would be for microwave installations?
Do agree that it does look very similar to my local VF mast though except there's a shroud on it (is that the right word?)
every day is an education day!Learn something new everyday.
Not sure what a phase 9 even looks like but I noticed the handle, that's all.Had no idea the phase 9 poles looked so different. Certainly not come across any round this part of the world.

The one next to where I am doesn't have a handle, but looks identical (aside from a difference in colour)Not sure what a phase 9 even looks like but I noticed the handle, that's all.
Could still be Vodafone but idk
This is an example of one that's probably a phase 8 (not sure though) which has the handle

I think it would be for a microwave since I believe people have posted PoWs with a microwave on the sideNot sure what significance the handle has.

Edit: it was turned on and sorted out pretty quickly, believe it was the same day the installation happened in 2022.
It's a phase 8 I believe, so the handle could indicate phase 9? - although it could also be phase 8. Not sure what significance the handle has.
Thanks everybody, I'm going to take the answer as "anytime"...
It's def a Three 5g mast as I saw the planning permission on the council's website.
I don't know if they do it based on the fact of what speed an area can get, maximum here without mobile is upwards of 80 still due to no fttp either by virgin,nexfibre or OR. I guess OFNL would count too although they're not in this direct area.Yes it's a 'how long is a piece of string?' question I think sja0001, the one above (Kilmarnock) has been like that for ages, no 5G antennas fitted, not sure why they don't just complete it.![]()

Some complete installations in Glasgow took 2 years before they went live.
Hopefully you won't have to wait that long though.![]()
Businesses often have access to better infrastructure when individuals may not, those microwaves usually are used in extreme rural situations afaik (although it is odd that some towns have them as well)I don't know if they do it based on the fact of what speed an area can get, maximum here without mobile is upwards of 80 still due to no fttp either by virgin,nexfibre or OR.

I think phase 7 is the one with 2 standard and 2 mimos stacked but because of nimbys they made phase 8 that has one standard and one mimo on top then now phase 9 which looks like they covered the standard antennas and put mimos at the bottom like cornerstone didNot sure what a phase 9 even looks like but I noticed the handle, that's all.

I'm now officially jealous....My nearest 3 monopole has been up for well over a year and is still not online. It had its 5G antennas added a couple of months ago and finally had a fibre link connected last week by Openreach.
It's phase 9 and about 300m away. I'm not overly bothered as there's a phase 8 about 600m away in the opposite direction and I get pretty good 5G performance from that.
