Just not yet for most of us, unless you live in Coldstream.

Blimey, and they've had TV there since 1929, 7 years before it came to
London ?

Evidently they've had COM6 on ch60 since 1929.

To expand on what I now realise is a slightly enigmatic quip, a lot of
people in Coldstream use Selkirk tx, which broadcasts on ch60 and other
high channels. Ch60 is very close to the 4G band. The signal from
Selkirk is not good so there are a lot of masthead amps in use. It's a
recipe for 4G disaster!

The other possible tx is Chatton, and again signal levels are mediocre
to poor, but at least the closest channel to the 4G stuff is ch47.

I wonder where the 4G mast is?

It would be very interesting to see a map showing the 4G mast location,
and the confirmed affected homes. I wonder if anyone from Ofcom or the
4G filter mob have even considered during that in the name of scientific
research ?

Chatton is, of course, in England. Coldsteam is in Scotland which is why
people want to watch Selkirk.

Yea-but, still north of Hadrian's Wall, so does that really count ?

It's south of Berwick on Tweed, which is, supposedly, an English Town,
although the Scottish County - once next door - was called Berwickshire.

A little bit of digging tends to suggest that the only 4G available in
the town - and it is weak at that - is EE which is on 1800MHz AFAIK,
so who is kidding who?

From what I can find the only sites are a 25m tower (EE) to the west
of the town, Arqiva have a site atop the telephone exchange but I
can't find it on Streetview, there is a site on a clock tower just off
the main street, one out of town to the north, and a street pole in
the NE of the town.

Methinks there may be a few affected but not 'hundreds' especially as
it has a population of well less than 2000! Either that or it has
affected people outside the town near a mast and editorial licence has
allocated it to the town.

half the town would be 10 hundred - that's "hundreds".
