    The guys at @O2 store lower #bullring are rude. We have as a family 5 contracts and there is a way to speak to customers. Sales adviser even manger thought it was ok. Very rude here. Will go top floor from now on.

    @O2 I think I made 2 or 3 phone calls all week and no, I had to rely on wifi because the data connection was so poor! 💸

    Absolutely awful customer service from Awais at @O2 call centre. Takes 5 days to get an unlock code so that I can use my phone on another network and my o2 line finishes tomorrow! @Ofcom @WhichUK manager was in a 'meeting' and will get back to me by 9pm tonight. #stayawayfromo2

    @SkyUK why is #skymobile signal so rubbish at weekends, you give free data and then the service levels drop! #poorservice won't be renewing with you next year! @O2 that's goes for you too! #rubbish!

    So far today: @NOWTV failed our change from @bt_uk yesterday so no broadband. @O2 signal is poor so phones are no use & our @FreeviewTV signal is terrible. So no internet, data, @NOWTV, or @FreeviewTV. Oh, and a child needs to revise online for exams on Monday. Fantastic.

    2/2 @O2 I’m currently sat at Wolverhampton station and I have 1 bar or 4G in what is a major UK city. Absolutely nonsense that these problems continue to happen. I thought it was bad enough not getting full 4G in my house in Kilmarnock but this is just amateur hour at its finiest

  • MrRichAnderson
    Richard Anderson (@MrRichAnderson) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @O2 Terrible customer service, AGAIN. Promised a call on Monday morning. Came whilst I was out of reception (No surprise there!) Voicemail left saying you would try again. Nothing all week. Another reason not to actually upgrade and to leave O2.

    I can’t call you because @ThreeUKSupport are providing a crap service and have been for 3 weeks because of a bit of rain! Time to have a chat with @virginmedia @O2 @VodafoneUK I think, neither #Sky not #Three value customers. @Three_Is_Broken

    @O2 I'm interested in the offer of an extra £150 when you trade in your old phone but the link to the t&cs on your website for this doesn't work. How do I see what the t&cs for this are?

    @O2 Streaming is slow, signal drops in areas that your website shows as having good network coverage, mostly on 3G when should be getting 4G.
