    @O2 I assume free coffee is cheaper than investing in network capacity.

    @paulwrightyboy @O2 @TelefonicaUK @MarkEvansO2 Full signal now...

  • sabphotos69
    SAB Photography (@sabphotos69) reported from Dudley, England

    @TheOldDear @O2 @EnglandRugby You’d think it would be easy to provide a service considering they charge me……….. wait for it £67 a month. I get no signal at all most of the time. Yet apparently engineers are working on it.

  • StevoJones1984
    Steve Jones (@StevoJones1984) reported from West Bromwich, England

    I seriously can't wait to get off @O2. Their customer service has been top notch, but the signal is beyond a joke.

    Ashley Robert Scrivens (@AshScrivens) reported from Birmingham, England

    Remember when @three public shamed @o2 for being down. Pot Kettle..

  • PeteVillan1981
    Carpy Villan™️ (@PeteVillan1981) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    How poor is the coverage from @virgin mobile? Since the merger with @O2 the mobile coverage is appalling. Massive price increase on all plans/ packages yet the network service is worse than ever

    @paulwrightyboy @O2 @TelefonicaUK @MarkEvansO2 I have full signal...and 4G

  • macwool
    paul woolley (@macwool) reported from Brownhills, England

    @O2 I’m unable to remember my security question answer in order to change my password to view my a/c the system won’t accent any answers to other questions & customer care is unobtainable. It’s rubbish & unhelpful. I feel very cross!!!😡

  • charlll18x
    Charlotte (@charlll18x) reported from Dudley, England

    Don’t know what I’m paying for as it is can’t name a place I actually get signal, now a massive price increase. Can’t wait to leave @O2

  • PhilTonks2
    Phil Tonks (@PhilTonks2) reported from Dudley, England

    @O2 Just runs very slow, if at all. Advised in the past to change settings in phone to use 3G but it's hardly practical to keep doing this. 4G+ in the City Centre just seems overloaded much of the time. Other half on Vodafone no issues at all. Very frustrating.

  • GoGishiGoGo
    Gish Abeyratne (@GoGishiGoGo) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 Device is damaged. Your website and app are as clear as mud about repairs and replacements. I'm on hold waiting for an advisor to be available (20 minutes elapsed). Can you help me out?

  • Paul1366
    The McFugget (@Paul1366) reported from Tamworth District, England

    @O2 Any known issues with the phone service in Tamworth and Lichfield. I can barely make phone calls and it shows I have 4g but the Internet is awfully slow.

  • ReissOmari
    Gordé 🥚 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    I’ve just been in to the @O2 store to get a new sim, fantastic service in store, however, I was shocked to find my contract has gone up £6 since October? How does that work??

  • PeteVillan1981
    Carpy Villan™️ (@PeteVillan1981) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @villa4ever29 @Virgin @O2 Awful mobile coverage for the last 12 months. Shame I’m tied in to my contract for another 6 months. It’s been particularly bad the last couple of weeks. No 4G available and switching between 3G & EDGE regularly. Appalling

  • GedNeilAlex
    #boredinafactoryupddated (@GedNeilAlex) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    Well done to @O2 for a super fast service. Sent us a replacement sim in less than 24hours. Well done!

    Loosing the will to live with @O2 and the appalling lack of customer service!! Nearly 4 weeks and still no refund received!!

  • sukirandhawa4x4
    Suki Randhawa (@sukirandhawa4x4) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @O2 why is your reception in the #PathaanCollection WestMidlands so bad #Willenhall #Walsall showing 4G internet buffering considering moving on to another network.

  • ChrisSammons_
    Chris Sammons (@ChrisSammons_) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 Thats the answer I expected to be honest, to a customer of 18 years 👍🏼

    @apsamuelson @TomTugendhat @O2 This would never catch on. Too many vested interests keen to fill the troughs of these scumbags.

  • DiogenesBalls
    Diogenes Bowl (@DiogenesBalls) reported

    @O2 @Virgin If you think I'm paying for a restricted line that grasses up everything I do to the woke wankers in No10, expect me to cancel the contracts and find people who respect privacy and unlimited access without government interference. #ElonItsTimeForStarLinkUK

  • CraigGodders
    Craig-David (@CraigGodders) reported

    @O2 can I legally leave my contract with you because of how poor the signal is? There’s a good mile square ld of my town I can’t get any 4g at all.

  • customerchamp1
    Paul ▶️ (@customerchamp1) reported

    Who remembers when @O2 customer service was good? Since the merger with the appalling @virginmedia it's been absolutely diabolical. Trying to help a vulnerable relative, been on hold for 45 minutes 🤮🤮🤮 to reset his password. Shameful.

  • Marooned_Sailor
    Ian Judd (@Marooned_Sailor) reported

    @O2 Did some research and as suspected you never actually rolled mmwave out…. Feels like some false advertising @Ofcom what are you doing? Where are all the speeds promised 6 years ago… yet again a weak uk regulator in the pockets of those its supposed to be holding to account

  • Truly_Anomalous
    Dan - Truly_Anomalous 🐦 (@Truly_Anomalous) reported

    @TomTugendhat @O2 I left the O2 network this month. Our local access point is constantly either down or just not serving data. Fixes rarely last more than a week or two.

  • Nilesh_LCFC_R
    Nilesh888 (@Nilesh_LCFC_R) reported

    @TomTugendhat @O2 I left O2 because of this very issue. When I first took out a contract with them the signal was fine, but it got worse over time. I haven’t moved house, so what could it be?

  • EllieMBond
    Ellie (@EllieMBond) reported

    @TomTugendhat @O2 @EE They are probably using the same masts. It is a lack of masts that is the problem. No one wants them in their backyard but everyone wants good coverage.
