Mobile phone network O2 has announced that it will soon be launching its 4G service in Coulport.

The successful implementation of the 4G network will allow customers to experience a new level of high speed mobile internet, according to Derek McManus, chief operating officer of O2's parent company, Telefónica UK.

He said: “I’m delighted that O2 customers in Coulport will soon be able to experience faster mobile internet.
