    @O2 customer service nailing it once again! Information on the website is about as useful as having a third armpit, and then you call and the automated system cuts you off. Bravo you feckless morons 👏 🙄

  • notdodgy
    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?

  • sukirandhawa4x4
    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.

    @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!

    @Three_Is_Broken @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK @O2 Try it they seem to be willing to cancel for those who escalate to the ombudsman service

  • GoGishiGoGo

    @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?

  • SnapperSandwell
    SandwellSnapper (@SnapperSandwell) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @O2 Why when I click on the priority app for tickets, does it then not allow me to buy priority tickets on Ticketmaster? Why is it not working, it used to.

    @villa19799 @O2 My mrs Is with @O2 and signal and 4G has been horrific lately, I’m on @virginmedia and have had no issues whatsoever .

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

  • LittleMissCosta
    Tina-Louise Boyce (@LittleMissCosta) reported from Solihull, England

    @O2 I've just tried this, they've said they've sent me a text with a code but I don't have any service to receive the text. So now I'm stuck..

    @Danjsalt @TomTugendhat @O2 3 is either great or awful, there is no inbetween.

  • Wigapedia
    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.

  • allnewtomorrow
    Patrick Hölscher (@allnewtomorrow) reported

    @TomTugendhat @O2 @EE Who is virtue signalling? "But we’re spending £4.5 billion in bike lanes and crossings" Know what Paris now also has? Far superior bike infrastructure, in addition to their better mobile network buildout. Perhaps you should have countered 5G fears better when in government.

  • cmonmun
    Isca Augusta (@cmonmun) reported

    @RealToffeeCelt @O2 @TomTugendhat I get no O2 signal at work or home. I don’t even get 4/5G data in the middle of Winchester, which is not exactly economically deprived. They’re just crap.

  • anexiledjew
    Greg - Israelite in Exile (surviving the Galut) (@anexiledjew) reported

    @TomTugendhat @O2 @vodafone I've seen this in other countries, and there's no reason it can't be implemented in the UK. Because these networks don't have the ability to properly cover the entire country, there's absolutely no reason we can't have domestic roaming in the same way we have international roaming. They wouldn't have to charge for it because every single mobile network would benefit from it. If you can't get an EE signal, for example, you would roam to Vodafone instead. It could be switched on instantly, but they choose not to do this.

  • Fr2962Free
    Free Speech Highway (@Fr2962Free) reported

    @TomTugendhat @O2 The issue is the mobile companies raise prices mid contract and end of contract in line with RPI but signals and services in areas remains woeful

    @O2 @TomTugendhat @O2 oh **** off lol. Your service is terrible - and when you see a popular tweet now you want to get involved? I’m counting down the days till my contract runs out with you guys. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

    @TomTugendhat @O2 @vodafone That free market Thatcherite stuff is really working, huh? Remove the red tape, let private enterprise sort it! Just like the water, energy and rail companies! They invest in infrastructure and provide great service, be more like them!

    @O2 @DeraCalla Maybe saying "sorry" doesn't do it anymore. The people are fed up with customer services. Not only in the UK. It's everywhere very bad.
