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.

    @giffgaff What's a going on with the voice network today? Anywhere I am it is taking AGES to connect outbound calls

  • Euroboy5580 Running monkey (@Euroboy5580) reported

    @uk_domain_names Use GiffGaff or Tesco instead - they both use O2’s network.

    @giffgaff have you guys launched 5G support or not yet?

  • musichqhull Darren Bunting (@musichqhull) reported

    So I left my @giffgaff phone at home so struggling on using my @tescomobile 'work' phone for internet at the @ORileys2 its such a slow service compared to the Giffgaff one -.-

  • konrkonrkonr konr 🌱 (@konrkonrkonr) reported

    @unblushinn @giffgaff I'm on Giffgaff and live in the same house as you so it seems it'll be a phone issue!

  • 1AUH Jeremy BC (@1AUH) reported

    @MartinSLewis £36.52 a month Plusnet, two years, standard broadband, often lose connection. Also two mobile phones with giffgaff, but signal very poor here, so we need a landline.

  • sparrowhawk28 Ruth Fitch (@sparrowhawk28) reported

    @uk_domain_names @demented_tj Isn't GiffGaff on the O2 network? They do SIM only and have good online (community) support.

  • Markgsparrow Mark Sparrow (@Markgsparrow) reported

    @hsw @DavidDavisMP I'm thinking of changing. I use Giffgaff but the 4G speed is throttled. I'd heard Smarty is supposed to be good but need to test reception for Three network.

  • KingHarold1 King Harold (@KingHarold1) reported

    @Mich1971C Mich your Speedtest is GiffGaff 3G not broadband or fibre broadband. Is this what your smart TV is connecting to? It's not a good speed. You may suffer lag & freeze. Do you not have land based broadband in the house. Check the TV menus network settings what you're connected to.

    @GilesPalaeoLab You can buy giffgaff ones repeatedly. I’ve done this when I accidentally dropped the first SIM down somewhere unreachable that I cannot describe on Twitter.
