-
Doctor Bass (@Dr_Bass) reported from Manchester, England@O2 Hi, my 4G signal over the last few months has been dreadful. I’m currently sitting with 3 bars of 4G and waiting about 10-20 seconds for a picture to download. I thought it was just me but seen plenty others complaining.
-
Mark Owens (@markowens726) reported from Bacup, England@O2 Unfortunately I can't change it on the Link because I'm unable to sign in to my account with an incorrect email address
-
James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, EnglandHello @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?

🇬🇷Atlas Sailing🇬🇧 (@AtlasSailing) reported from Bolton, England@O2 @o2 Your service in Bolton area has been terrible over recent weeks to the point I am considering leaving. When will this improve??? #badservice #telephone

Steven Burns (@StevenB93941279) reported from Ramsbottom, EnglandIs it just me or is @O2 signal getting worse and worse.
-
Kelly McKeown (@kellyvmckeown) reported from Manchester, England@laineyclements @O2 They’re appalling I’m going to cancel myself they are the worst mobile company I’ve ever dealt with they ignore you constantly cut you off leave you on hold zero customer service
-
Keeley O'Mara (@Gsd1Omara) reported from Rochdale, England@O2 why is the signal in #Middleton so poor??? We have 4 phones with you & it’s shocking signal. I know loads of people wanting to change supplier #notgood #sortitout
-
Kelly McKeown (@kellyvmckeown) reported from Manchester, England@O2 Worst telecoms company you could ever have the misfortune to deal with
-
Zack Hallam 🐝 (@ZackHallam) reported from Manchester, EnglandWhy 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
-
Keally (@kea11y) reported from Bolton, England@O2 how can you sell a phone, take the money then tell the customer its not in stock and not tell them when it will be? Absolute disgrace of a company. Trying to get in touch with customer service is a joke.
-
Shannon (@ShanRebec94) reported from Sale, England@chlo3matthewman @O2 @viagogo Tickets on there for over a £1000 now, O2 clearly weren’t experiencing issues with ticket demand unless you were an ordinary customer who wanted them at face value. Very very poor
-
Chris Thompson (@Chris_Mr_T) reported from Chorley, EnglandHi @O2 we’ve been in Blackpool most of the day and have little or no signal until we were leaving. Do you have a known issue, a lack of cell towers or something? We’ve been half a dozen times this year and it’s always the same on 3 different phones.
-
~Jack 🐝 (@JMcKnighty) reported from Manchester, EnglandReally unimpressed with @O2 Contact Centre customer service. Working in customer service myself, I know changing a direct debit date shouldn't take 30 minutes with 2 agents, a dropped call, being called back, and then being told I need to call again tomorrow This should be 2 mins
-
Alastair (@alid7997) reported from Manchester, England@O2 why is your signal in Manchester so, so ****?!
-
Steve (@SteveVanDang) reported from Stockport, EnglandWelp @O2 support was great tellin me no better deals,tho new customers get massively better deals & the signal in my area should be good 🤷. #Pac requested, got a @VOXI_UK Sim for half the price, better signal, more perks. 16 years brand loyalty with o2, was worth squat to o2.cya
-
Howard Rice (@howierice) reported from Sale, England@O2 @virginmedia @Curlykidlife Hi Virgin Media. Have just moved my sim over to O2 and as an existing VM customer applied for my free Volt upgrade. O2 have doubled my mobile data and you have upgraded my broadband. However you have now almost doubled my monthly payment. VM customer service cannot help ?!
