    @gazza_d @KarlOnSea @girodilento I did hear that you are further down the priority list for bandwidth congestion with giffgaff than O2. (Also in a macho - mine is bigger than yours kind of way, I have more data than you are allowed buy, 40GB. Travelling a lot these days)

    @giffgaff im experiencing a no sim card error. Is the network down?

  • JimJamming James (@JimJamming) reported

    @giffgaff hi is there a reason why I'm getting next to no service even when it says I've got full 4G? Doesn't seem to matter where I am! Certain tasks are almost impossible. Won't load videos. Or allow me to do a speed test. Websites take ages to load.

    @JackVTaylor @giffgaff I tried following their advice and its made no difference. They need to contact 02, actually address the issue and fix it.

  • JackVTaylor Jack Taylor (@JackVTaylor) reported

    @Tony_Ryan1892 @giffgaff Same issue in Bolton and Manchester. Ive been told by them to turn my connection to O2 on and off but it hasn't worked. With so many people having the issue you as seen on twitter you would think they realise it's on their end not ours
