    @O2 I know you have a status & outage checker you're missing the point. RE O2 Priority app issue - last time it happened, you advised it was a known issue at your end also effecting other customers. I want you to thoroughly check to see if it's a known issue at your end again.

    Honestly what does @O2 expect selling pre sale Beyoncé tickets website down again! Did they not learn from the Peter Kay debacle

    Hey @O2! 👋👋👋 You are really starting to make me angry. Why is my internet connection very slow, even when on 4G. I cannot deal with the pausing videos, apps and webpages not loading. Sort it out!

  • craig_donnison Craig Donnison (@craig_donnison) reported from Ashington, England

    This issue has been happening intermittently again over the last week or so. Beyond infuriating. Sort it out, @O2.
