    @O2 why has my 4G mysteriously stopped working just as my 2 year contract expires? I’m currently on a rolling contract at reduced rate. Seems very odd it would all of a sudden cut out completely?

    @O2 I have called them. 4 times over the last week It ranges from "wait a bit longer" to "the offer expired" to "we don't know" and finally "management haven't told us what to do yet" might just cancel the lot since I'm in my 14 day cooling off period and go to another provider...
