Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Cowes and nearby locations:

  • Waspsoton the devil (@Waspsoton) reported from Portsmouth, England

    Wtf @O2 has somehow turned on my adult content filter without me asking too. Not happy about this

  • shaunobrien_ Shaun O’Brien (@shaunobrien_) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @O2 It’s everywhere in Portsmouth. I had this exact same problem when I lived here. As soon as I get to Havant, my phone is slow, takes forever to call out to anyone, phone doesn’t ring when people call me, internet is rubbish.

  • DavidPalman Detainment Dave (@DavidPalman) reported from Southampton, England

    @O2 @kevp1910 Same nonsense response I'm getting from @easyJet, Kev. On hold for two hours and nobody answering calls. It seems the bigger the company, the worse their customer service is.

  • dazkimber d kimber (@dazkimber) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @O2 literally the worst coverage going, get 4G and full bars in Portsmouth area but takes an age to load anything, 4 family phones on this network with same problem, will be moving all of these to another network. I swear they just sell more phones without the bandwidth to cope

  • petekitching Pete K. 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 🇩🇪 (@petekitching) reported from Fareham, England

    @O2 Just been to store to upgrade 2 phones. Given price £10 a month each dearer than competitor. Not willing to match. How to lose a customer of 26 years in one easy lesson. Not good business. Even my insurers will negotiate to keep the good business of an easy customer.

  • grannypatt Pat Waistnidge (@grannypatt) reported from Sandown, England

    @O2 I'm on holiday. Mainly use wi-fi at home. Never use my data, text or minutes allowance. I only need data when I am away with no hotel access to internet. Carrying forward allowances should be available.

  • sonnybyng Sonny ⚓️ (@sonnybyng) reported from Portsmouth, England

    Don’t even have my WiFi on at home no more cos @bt_uk are so crap and that’s fine until I realise I’m with @O2 who are even worse

  • MatthewCaputo_ Matthew Caputo (@MatthewCaputo_) reported from Southampton, England

    absolutely SHOCKING service from @O2 during my time working in Southampton. Intermittent calls, terrible 4G.. all for a ‘service’ I’m paying EXTORTIONATE amounts for! I need my phone for work purposes and haven’t been able to use it!.. 😡

  • CharlieOake Charlotte Oake (@CharlieOake) reported from Fareham, England

    @O2 I have been into my local branch who have looked into this and was told ‘it does seem a bit much... you just need to pay’. Very unhelpful customer service im afraid to say

  • ANeonRainbow Lee 🐈🤷‍♂️👀 (@ANeonRainbow) reported from Southampton, England

    @O2 Hello. I have tried to access chat but all agents busy. Since yesterday, I have had no data on my phone. I have tried to turn phone on and off and it is still not working! Can this be looked into, after all O2 are number 1 for loyalty definitely not customer service...🙄

  • conor_oneill94 Conor O'Neill (@conor_oneill94) reported from Southampton, England

    @O2 I've been trying to cancel my phone insurance but keep going round in circles on your website- help a brother out please 🙏

  • rahim94 Rahim™ 🇲🇦🇬🇧 (@rahim94) reported from Southampton, England

    Given that virgin mobile use @EE's network and tesco use @O2's, it's not really fair to compare them to the other 4 for coverage #Watchdog @BBCWatchdog

  • SarahJBurridge LadyIOW (@SarahJBurridge) reported from Ryde, England

    Please help me @O2 I’m trying to pay my handset #bill, I called 202 with no help, I don’t have the handset to hand as its with my parents in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #caerphillylockdown 🙏🏻

  • diamonddivabird sarah gilbert (@diamonddivabird) reported from Southampton, England

    Internet is messing me around. Not sure if its wifi @virginmedia or phone company @O2. It can take up to 3 days to get any notifications HELP PLEASE.

  • Danny1972boy Daniel Blakey (@Danny1972boy) reported from Waterlooville, England

    @O2 it’s Glastonbury next weekend, really looking forward to it. Are you boosting the signal in the area to ensure there’s enough bandwidth

  • B3Cx_ Becci (@B3Cx_) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @ethan_winter @O2 I pay £60 a month and can never use any of my data either🙃🙃🙃🙃

  • XMoonfall 🌌Xantha Moonfall🌌 (@XMoonfall) reported from Southampton, England

    @O2 Yes please! I would love to update my Samsung, and I have been an O2 customer for years! Good luck everyone!

  • rachelbymustang Rachel Marian Digby (@rachelbymustang) reported from Sandown, England

    @O2 is there a help desk I can call? I am paying more for my phone still than what was originally agreed at the start of my contract. I was told I'd get discount as I work for Bupa. My bill is still over £40 per month and it is not what I signed up to. Really unhappy.
