Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Cowes and nearby locations:

  • ChrisOverthrow Chris Overthrow (@ChrisOverthrow) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @brendonvbone I was with giffgaff (o2) and its bollocks. Now with Vodafone. I get decent signal apart from half time. At half time I can get some internet but it's very slow. That's unavoidable with 18k people all using their phones though.

  • pachallis Peter Challis (@pachallis) reported from Fareham, England

    @notmany4benny @carterBFC @SamsungUK One of the disadvantages of living in rural locations. At least you must have beautiful views instead. I had problems with Three and I live 200m from a transmitter where I get flaky voice calls. Apparently I need a Three supplied phone to get VOLTE. Currently on O2/Giffgaff.

  • mocc_night megs . space (@mocc_night) reported

    @triceratops1892 @ThreeUK it's worth using giffgaff instead - I pay £10 a month for unlimited everything, 10GB data and rly good signal (monthly) - can be cancelled anytime for free - lmk if you want a referral link for free credit towards ur first month <3

    I've heard mention that O2 uses the VirginMedia (fibre) network ... is this true? If so could it explain why a three day (and counting) VM outage coincides with shockingly bad mobile data on giffgaff (aka O2 network)?

  • till_the_wheels 𝕵𝖚𝖌𝖘 (@till_the_wheels) reported

    @giffgaff I told you, it's the Peckham Nunhead area. You know this. I know SO MANY PEOPLE that have reported this. JUST FIX IT! I don't know what that has to do with my postcode, I don't live there, I work there.

  • KateMaffin Kate (@KateMaffin) reported

    Hey @giffgaff. I’ve had a few issues recently with someone using my phone number. I’ve got a new sim now and a new number but is there a way to disconnect the old one to prevent it being used again?

  • ShaneSlackMusic Shane Slack Official 🌍 🏳️‍🌈 🧠 (@ShaneSlackMusic) reported

    @ giffgaff Hi, I'm looking to leave your network as I need customer support but you have no customer service number, no customer service email and you keep telling me I'm locked out of my account. This is ridiculous.

  • kakaahmed1 A (@kakaahmed1) reported

    @giffgaff I’m sorry but you can’t tell me when my number is going to be back on! I have a really good number and I am afraid the number has been stolen! Nobody can help me all I’m getting told is there is work going on but my wife’s on giff gaff and her number is fine !
