    Dave Wright (@DaveWrigh) reported from Manchester, England

    @BruceDevlin @grantmathieson @O2 I work in the industry (not for O2 though, although I have had internal dealings with them) and that does seem like a very odd course of action to recommend. DM me with your issue if you want and I’ll see if I can point you in the right direction?

  • SimpaticoGem
    Gemma ≅ (@SimpaticoGem) reported from Walkden, England

    Tell me why with my @virginmedia wifi and my @O2 phone contract, MY WIFI CUTS OUT CONSTANTLY AND I HAVE NO SIGNAL ANYWHERE I GO?! Thought being a customer of you both was supposed to reap massive benefits for me?

    @O2 terrible service from you guys today. Thanks for the inconvenience...

  • SawdayJames
    James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Hey - I have checked the guide. It’s not my device as it worked 100% better on a recent trip to France. It’s not the environment as this is something I experience everywhere (in Leicester, in Manchester, on trains, at festivals) - but your signal checker says I have good 4G.

  • SawdayJames
    James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England

    Hello @O2 your network coverage across the UK is awful: there’s about one street in Manchester where I get a useable 4G signal and nowhere else. Definitely isn’t my device as I’ve just been abroad and the signal worked perfectly. What are my options please?

  • Josh_Deegan

    @O2 has less than 20 mins to sort their app out. Come on guys, this is so bad

  • AtlasSailing

    @O2 why is the my o2 not working. Haven’t been able to use it for over a week!

  • ZackHallam
    Zack Hallam 🐝 (@ZackHallam) reported from Manchester, England

    Why does @O2 refuse to give you internet connection whenever there’s more than 4 people near you… Surely there’s enough infrastructure in Manchester to support 4G?! Every single time I’m in a city centre, my data just doesn’t work. It’s a joke

  • aflanagancarter
    Amy Rowland (@aflanagancarter) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 what is with no service in Manchester?! So bad and un safe!

  • DAbrahamNewman
    Dominic Abraham-Newman (@DAbrahamNewman) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 as a last resort I am tweeting following extremely poor support from your contact centre who I am not getting anywhere with despite numerous calls. I need urgent support with a query which has left me £119 out of pocket following fraudulent activity. Please contact me asap!

  • dobirmiah

    @O2 I’ve not had access to the network all day, what’s going on? It would have been good to be notified of issues. Really not happy 😠 I’m due for an upgrade, might have to@consider switching to another network

  • kellyvmckeown

  • RJakesEU
    Rob 🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@RJakesEU) reported from Manchester, England

    haha, just had an (obviously scam) phone call from someone who claimed to be from @O2 … when they asked how the service was and I said it was poor, they hung up

  • eagleeyedferret
    Adrian Simcox (@eagleeyedferret) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 2/2 both occasions the call centres were noisy. Call centre operative didn’t speak very god English. Both operatives complaining their systems were slow or not working at all and putting me on hold for long periods.

    @O2 You're a waste of space 8 different payment methods each one rejected on your website/ App. Its only £1.00 verification You absolute disgraceful waste of space. This is how you treat customers that have been with you for over 20 yrs. @Ofcom

  • BaldeyAl
    Al Nickson (@BaldeyAl) reported

    @O2 @TomTugendhat My signal is always terrible. How come it often shows 5G and I can’t even get a page to open? We pay so much for our tariffs and the service is worse than ever.

  • SarahLudford
    Sarah Ludford 🇬🇧 🇮🇪🇪🇺 🇺🇦 (@SarahLudford) reported

    It’s not just ‘recently’ @O2. @TomTugendhat is absolutely right that your mobile coverage in London is consistently poor. I have found it better in rural Spain than in ‘London, Global City’. Perhaps @MayorofLondon could direct his £7m PR spend to mobile infrastructure instead?

  • amerali

    @TomTugendhat @O2 @EE WiFi on tgv is awful. I've never been able to work.

    @TomTugendhat @O2 @EE So which government mobile phone network do you use? 'Cos I don't see the connection.

    @O2 Following link on priority for Sienna Spiro Manchester 02/03 and keep getting Ticketmaster page saying presale is happening now, but no option to buy. Same for other artists. Want to try and get Muse tickets tomorrow. How can I resolve the issue. No VPNs, blockers etc used.

  • katharinebarto6
    Katharinebarton (@katharinebarto6) reported

    @TomTugendhat @O2 @EE I agree. And you are right, it has got worse. Let alone those black spots being addressed. What is going on? Also offices in the City of London with no signal!!

  • MAUNConsulting
    Stuart Maun (@MAUNConsulting) reported

    @O2 Hi there. Was there any resolution to this? I never actually received my email for the Greggs Sweet Treat I won last week, and nothing showing. Have I gone from a 'winner' to a 'loser' :o( - Hopefully there will be some way you can track it - sent my details last week on DM

  • Jaxstad

    @O2 Can't even call in to discuss my account It's that bad. I'm out of contract so I guess I'm going elsewhere.
