Did they?
Are you sure? That's terribly hard to do in an urban area (but not impossible, and not outside the reach of UK.gov... however supposedly Ecuador did this, NOT uk.gov. It'd be illegal and really, really hard for ecuador to shut down 4g to an area of London.
But, I'll rule nothing out.

Okay, so Ecuador shut down his internet link.... but we really don't know what that means, do we? And actually, that's definitely a problem with this plan to help him out. I feel bad for the guy I start to go crazy after a few hours disconnected, he's got to be positively losing his shit.
