    Welp @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

    Byron (@ConnorByron2) reported from Newton-le-Willows, England

    @O2 I have pretty much zero chance of getting 4G/3G anywhere I go in the country being on your network. Why? Paying for service I do not get

  • franlatics27

    @O2 Sort the signal out in wigan please I feel like dial up Internet was better 20 years ago than my rubbish Internet at the moment. I'll be terminating my contract in a month if nothing happens ASAP been years now literally dead spots where nothing works

  • Hurstchris2102

    Absolute shambles from @O2 with the pre sale of Peter Kay tickets. I managed to get some through gigs & tours but no checks so could have bought them even if I wasn't an O2 customer. Pointless having a pre sale if its open to all #peterkay #O2Priority

    This Christmas, @O2 is donating data to those who need it. For every tweet using #O2DataPledge this Giving Tuesday, they'll donate even more data to the National Databank. Tap below to tweet your support 👇

    @O2 Also sorry - but what’s the point in telling me to use a network checker if you don’t accept the results of the checker? That’s literally your app I’m using and it’s giving me terrible results.

  • Mhamp84

    @Clf88 @O2 Yeah it’s been fine , vodaphone network . I buy the phone out right and just pay for data

    @O2 worst customer service in the world! Absolutely useless!

  • 6danicalifornia
    Dani Tomlinson 🎶 (@6danicalifornia) reported from Horwich, England

    I really wish @O2 can sort out the issues in Horwich. Trying to contact your insurance and police etc after a break in is extremely frustrating when there's no bloody signal 😡😡

  • franlatics27

    @O2 can you refund me my monthly payment as all the masts in wigan are down and have been for weeks....thanks

    @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

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

  • 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 devise as I’ve just been aboard and the signal worked perfectly. What are my options please?

  • dobirmiah
    ᴅᴏʙɪʀ ᴍɪᴀʜ 🐝 دوبر محمد مياه (@dobirmiah) reported from Rochdale, England

    @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

  • 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

  • springviewer
    John Edgar (@springviewer) reported from Wigan, England

    @shafterjay @O2 Now we're paying good money for no service

  • clare_jeffs
    Clare (@clare_jeffs) reported from Stockport, England

    They told her they are affiliated with @O2 and apparently do not offer cooling off periods. How can they miss-sell to a vulnerable lady with a brain injury and not cancel it. @plandotcom DISGUSTING.

  • NoVATonschools
    Lea Cat (@NoVATonschools) reported

    @TomTugendhat @O2 I was an 02 customer for about 15 years and just put up with worsening signal (zero at home) and price rises. Had enough this March and had to get PAC codes via phone call. Couldn’t even complete the call because the signal was so bad- 02 do not care. I’ll never go back to them.

  • LukeAlexanderpr
    Luke Alexander (@LukeAlexanderpr) reported

    @TomTugendhat @O2 Go on your mobile data settings and turn your signal to “5G on” not automatic!

  • DUNFORD1979
    Dunny (@DUNFORD1979) reported

    @O2 @TomTugendhat No signal in Lancaster at all

  • AndyFurnival2
    Andy Furnival (@AndyFurnival2) reported

    @TomTugendhat @O2 EE are just as bad. All networks believe the utter bollocks they peddle that coverage is fantastic. It was better when it was 3G. If only there was a regulator that could put an end to theoretical coverage maps 🤔

    @TomTugendhat @O2 @EE Yes Tom, but the objective is to maximize profit NOT provide you with a functioning service. Golden rules of Capitalism: 1. Charge the maximum you can get away with. 2. Deliver the least you can get away with.

    Lord Follicle's whomsoever machine (@wotyagerrin) reported

    @TomTugendhat @O2 @vodafone They also tried piggybacking on my personal bandwidth to offer their public “EE WiFi” service from my home router. Presumably they do this to all new customers? Not the best first impression.

  • CliveRoper
    Clive Roper (@CliveRoper) reported

    @TomTugendhat @O2 @EE Go for Lebara on Vodafone, good service and reliable

  • JohnTillUK
    John Till (@JohnTillUK) reported

    @O2 Forgive my ignorance but how can consistently poor or non existent data service be attributable to an account issue?

  • ACaldwell68074
    Way Of The Hunter 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@ACaldwell68074) reported

    @O2 @davehpayne The Hassle I have to top up, Repeatedly having to re-enter my Name, address & bank details, which were all previously saved before virgin media interfered with my login, I'm starting to consider leaving for another network provider, I lost all my carry over data because of it.

    Darren Coomer (@coomerdarren) reported
