Poor mobile signal. Headaches for EV and Cashless Payments.

This article might interest those in the North West particularly in more rural areas.

Hey @WizzyWigg
Hope you're doing well? I am not sure how we've missed this one...but thank you for sharing! It's defiantly an interesting theory, @DebF_EONNext says where she live's there are chargers in some of the bigger towns but in the smaller areas not so much and it does tend to be areas where there is poor mobile signal! Hope there can be a way round this for the future! 😊The Future of energy is Renewable 🍃 So let's work this out together! ✨ -
A similar situation in many places in Wales.
Llangranog, just down the road from me, famously installed cashless parking machines that rely on a mobile phone app to pay for parking. There is no mobile signal there on any network!Don't shoot me, I'm only the piano player. I DON'T work for or on behalf of EON.Next, but am willing to try and help if I can. Not on mains gas, mobile network or mains drainage. House heated almost entirely by baby dragons. -

There are lots of rural parts of Northumberland in the same situation, and some remote villages haven't even got fibre or Superfast Broadband yet but it's 'a work in progress'.Last edited by Tommysgirl; 24-07-24 at 11:53.

B4RN was set up a decade ago in the Lune Valley to bring full fibre to rural areas in North Lancashire. Mostly manned by volunteers.

@Tommysgirl Definitely a work in progress! It's always so nice to see a small village upgrade to something that expands and helps their local community 😊

Fibre broadband was rolled out to every village and hamlet in Wales that had a school, not matter how big or small. I benefit from decent fibre because there is (shortly to be 'was') a primary school in the village serving nine children.
The school had just been closed as they are building a new school in the next village to replace five tiny schools with one larger one. I just hope Openreach don't pull the fibre out again 🤣
It would be nice if they could upgrade us to a reliable electricity supply, but you can't have everything!!
