-
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?
-
George Kafetzis (@Georgekafetzis) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 your customer service has gone extremely S**T
-
Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England@o2 why is your service unusable in areas that your map says has good coverage? No backhaul bandwidth? B90 4AJ poor outside nothing inside. B13 0UR poor inside. Intermittent connectivity in spite of reasonable signal. Three works perfectly onside and out.

Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England@O2 working like clockwork? It goes faulty every week. "O2 Network Update: Stratford Rd, Shirley, Solihull B90 4AJ, UK Looks like a nearby phone mast isn’t working as it should, sorry.

Crystalcraft Andy (@Crystalcraftand) reported from Dudley, England@O2 so Im looking to upgrade my phone. Problem is, the elements of my pay monthly plan are now split and out of sync. Virgin Handset is now mine but 20 months left on O2 airtime plan. I cant cancel my O2 plan in order to start again (it wont let me change tariffs for 20 months)

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

Helen Jordan (@hel25071) reported@O2 Took my elderly mother all the way to your store in Merry Hill as she needs a new phone on contract but because my father is the account holder, the assistant would not help her.
