Suki Randhawa (@sukirandhawa4x4) reported from Walsall Wood, England@O2 why is your reception in the #WestMidlands so bad #Willenhall #Walsall showing 4G internet buffering all the time, considering moving on to another network after 20 plus years with you.

Hooty McOwlface (@Cheadle) reported from Birmingham, England@whatphilsaid @O2 It’s horrendous. Who would have thought the network could actually get worse as technology improves
-
Tracey_Devina (@Tracey_Devina) reported from West Bromwich, England@O2 I’m at home for the next 5+ days with covid, my data’s gone, I followed up a text I received to say up my data… it starts on Friday - what’s the actual point. Can you help now, when it matters?!
-
karen (@kazpeza) reported from Wednesfield, England@O2 such rude service this morning i havent phone and need a replacement sim sending and no way of ordering one as only accepting calls if your upgrading or cancelling,so i spoke to a girl from that team and she cut me off as i was explaining

-
Mike Klymko (@MikeKlymko) reported from Dudley, England@O2 really disappointed with the service I’m getting from O2. Poor coverage, dropped calls, slow texts, no internet, been like this for 5 months, No sign of a fix, difficult call centre staff hide behind “policy” to avoid being helpful. If you need a new provider - Avoid O2
-
Dad (@RampziieTweets) reported from Walsall Wood, England@TheO2 @O2 can you sort your network in Walsall, Birmingham. I put a complaint in at the beginning of the year and it’s STILL unbearable

Tom Bradshaw (@_tombradshaw) reported from Birmingham, England@EnglandRugby @SixNationsRugby @O2 Hate seeing Marchant out the 23, feels like he never gets a run of games… but a strong team, and a hell of a bench!
-

-
Conor (@conorcole) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 Your call centre operatives are rude & your information is misleading. I’ll be paying this device off then switching my network ✨
-
Gracie xo (@gracielou_xx) reported from Swindon, EnglandI can’t believe I was on the phone to @O2 for a good hour and all senior members of staff refusing to come to the phone to answer queries about random, large charges on my bill. Instead leaving a less qualified member to try and help with absolutely no support or assistance 🤢
-
Sophie Drake (@SophieMDrake) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 It’s having to be escalated due to a back office technical fault, issue on My O2 and the account behind the scenes, so I’m without data when out of the house for up to 10 days. Not ideal really!
-
Charlotte (@charlll18x) reported from Dudley, EnglandDon’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
-
steve beard (@steve8454) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 my son has changed network provider from o2 to ee. Waiting 5 days now for tel no to be transferred. Unable to get thru and no response to messages. Its crucial he has a working phone especially at this time. Shameful customer service.....
-
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.

-
Viridis (@Lord_Viridis) reported@O2 @Mally_DB Probably the one I've been telling you about for 7 months. But keep being ignorant of your failure whilst I contact the ombudsman... For anyone else .. myO2 backend is broken for a % of users and they don't know how to fix it. IT ticket closed without resolution
-
Andrew (@NearlyOver40) reported@O2 @ee Does O2 have problems in GL51? My iPhone 13 shows 5G and 4 bars but NOTHING works (e.g. X, WhatsApp). My wife’s EE iPhone 13 works perfectly there … comments/advice please.
-
Pauline Wardle (@pmw_77) reported@kokeshimum @O2 I ended up leaving o2 after years as service so bad.
-
Eggrolls (@EggrollsByam) reported@kokeshimum @O2 I’m with EE and around where I live there are many large areas where I get zero signal. In my house I get one bar of 4G on a good day.
-
Alisdair HamiltonW (@AHWilkes) reportedI'm a loyal customer of @O2 for decades with no intention to leave but with 5 SIMs in the family & a mixture of surreptitious chicanery on tariffs and annual increases I realise I'm paying a big Loyalty Penalty. O2 price discrimination blocks the advertised deal I want😡
-
Jack (@P33LLX) reported@mister___ran @O2 I have to speak to O2 for work purposes, we bought a business, made the old owner redundant. Called to cancel the contracts and guess what… would only speak to the old owner. Repeat anything else and you can tell they read from a script!
-

-
Stuart Semple (@StuartSemple85) reportedBeen in Crete for the last 2 weeks including trips off the coast and up the mountains and I had full signal and 5g…return home and not even 3 miles from Ayr and I’ve practically got to hang out the window.
