Nas Mahmud (@M5Mahmud) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 I had a issue with my billing and spoke to several of your phone assistants who did not help much at all, kept batting me off to Ariel Direct who also were useless.

-
Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England@O2 just changing to O2 as I opted for deal with Virgin. Disappointed with how poor your coverage is locally in the B90 area. Where I had over 200mbits 5G with three, I am now lucky to get 20mbits with O2. Do you have plans to improve your network? Have I made a mistake?
-
Chris Sammons #StayHomeSaveLives (@ChrisSammons_) reported from Birmingham, England@danboq @VodafoneUK At least @O2 only fob me off once every two weeks 🤪 And they don’t even give a reason, just knock the date back every time 🤣 As long as I have signal in time so I can send my Xmas texts I’ll be a happy chap

biffo (@radiobiffob) reported@TomTugendhat @O2 Sorry your mobile network is experiencing higher traffic than normal..
-
13th Theatre Co (@13theatre) reported@O2 Hi I am not on 02 but I am being continually harassed. I made a complaint to your Fraud team and I presumed it was closed as I received a letter saying I had nothing to pay. I received two texts asking for money. There is no identification on the text
-
Colwyn00 (@colwyn0077668) reported@TomTugendhat @O2 @EE mobile networks have been **** for ages. we have agents out up and down the uk and difference contracts with different providers and over different handsets have all been garbage.
-
Colm Nugent (@Wigapedia) reported@TomTugendhat @O2 @EE At what point in time did mobile phone company investment get diverted to upgrade bike lanes? This is like complaining about the vegetable selection in Tesco being terrible, while care homes are underfunded. Tom apparently doesn't understand how a modern economy works.
-
TheShireOfYork (@TheShireOfYork) reported@TomTugendhat @O2 when SpaceX starlink is available on phones it will be the end of terrestrial phone service and broadband
-
Profile Critics (@BooksProfile) reported@TomTugendhat @O2 @EE Tom, you were in power for 14 years and did nothing about reception on trains. This government is sorting that problem out. Just needed to flush out the Tories.
-
🅓🅜🅨🅡🅒🅡 (@dmyrcr) reported@TomTugendhat @O2 @EE Your lot had 14 years. Maybe you should’ve campaigned about this then to your pals in government. Instead you did **** all
-
Clifton (@ebisham) reported@TomTugendhat @O2 I was on the top of Leith Hill on Sunday you could see for miles in every direction but no signal at all. It’s a combination of nimbys objecting to phone masts and unwillingness to invest. Direct to mobile Starlink will buck their ideas up.
-
Malcolm Bebb (@BebbMalcolm) reported@TomTugendhat @O2 @EE So which government mobile phone network do you use? 'Cos I don't see the connection.
-
Ali (@aliward96) reported@TomTugendhat @O2 I’ve been with a few networks and O2 are easily the worst. I’ll never go anywhere near them or any network that piggy backs off them.
