  • JamesJupiter6 JamesJupiter (@JamesJupiter6) reported

    @O2 Login to the O2 Priority website with my Virgin Media login results in "There was a problem and we've been notified. Please wait a moment and try again. If the problem persists please come back and see us soon." I've tried on multiple devices and multiple browsers.

  • Capt_R_Scott Captain Scott (@Capt_R_Scott) reported

    @O2 High demand? Who'd have thought it. Still, I suppose it allows you to "claim" that you offer priority tickets and con people into taking up your service.
