Vodafone Mobile Phone problems in Yeovil

Vodafone have some major issues with their network in Yeovil following damage to one of their transmitters in Yeovil earlier this week.

According to the vodafone forum "It's just that gypsies had moved into the area surrounding site number 280 and have more or less ransacked the site of all copper and have quite severely damaged the site". They go on to say Vodafone has access to the site and are "replace all missing copper and parts".

I am sure that the police will find the culprits and arrests will be made.

Not sure where the mast is but my phone is still playing up and reception is a little patchy (Friday 17th Sep 2010) in Yeovil town center

SamKnows - Broadband Availability - Yeovil (WWYEOV) Exchange

SamKnows - Broadband Availability - Yeovil (WWYEOV) Exchange

Yeovil Broadband prices may fall?

I keep an eye on a “Sam Knows” it is the main reference point for information on UK telephone exchanges.


The number of operators excluding BT is now 4 which takes the Yeovil exchange (WWYEO) in to the next market banding (Currently Market 2, should move into Market 3).

Sam Knows answered my query and agree that WWYEO exchange should move to Market 3 when Ofcom update their records to reflect recent changes. When Ofcom have agreed that Yeovil is now market 3 some ISP’s should lower their broadband charges. My provider Plusnet should decrease by approximately £6 per month.

I will keep you posted

Cafe Forum Abbey Manor Yeovil

Cafe Forum reopened on the 12th August.

It is a pleasant place to meet up and have some food or a coffee. We spent a few hours chatting with friends.

Hardington Horse and Dog Show

I went to the Hardington Horse and Dog Show on Saturday; It was certainly a popular event. As a townie it was good to see the horses and dogs.

I was only able to stay a short while, but would have liked to stay longer. Still managed to see the fancy dressed dog competition try out the food tent. The food tent was worth a visit with cakes and barbeque where I tasted local food a plate full of Rabbit freshly caught and prepared, and a tasty burger.

“The Noise 2010”, Oak Tree Park, Abbey Manor Park

It was a great day for “The Noise 2010”, Oak Tree Park, Abbey Manor. There was a constant stream of people between 12 noon and 5pm visiting the event.

The Skate board and Bmx competitions saw some amazing stunts.
Some of the highlights were the Brazilian street dancers and the agility dogs.

St James Church was manning the refreshments giving out endless free fresh coffee, tea and squash.

There was plenty going on with Bouncy castles, face painting and other stalls.

The Yeovil Amateur radio club had some amazing aerials and equipment on show.

The event was only possible due to the local churches, Brympton parish council, Abbey Manor Community Centre, St James Scouts and others who gave time and support to this great free biannual event.
