    @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.

    @O2 due a phone call from an engineer looking into my account at the very latest today. Rang in, lost signal, advisor had to call me back. Still nothing but yet bet you’ll take payment on time for poor service

    Josh Deegan (@Josh_Deegan) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 has less than 20 mins to sort their app out. Come on guys, this is so bad

  • MattyHenno
    Matt Henno (@MattyHenno) reported from Appley Bridge, England

    @O2 How are customers buying them when there’s no way of accessing your app or your browser version? You’re advertising a service that you’re not providing. Answers please

    Dave Wright (@DaveWrigh) reported from Manchester, England

    @BruceDevlin @grantmathieson @O2 I work in the industry (not for O2 though, although I have had internal dealings with them) and that does seem like a very odd course of action to recommend. DM me with your issue if you want and I’ll see if I can point you in the right direction?

    Christopher Hurst (@Hurstchris2102) reported from Leyland, England

    @carolyn_keenan @O2 @peterkay_co_uk Go directly through gigs and tours. Some more dates added later in 2023. I've just manged 2 get 2 for Sept 2023 in Manchester no problem.

  • 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 abroad and the signal worked perfectly. What are my options please?

    @BruceDevlin @O2 Has she maybe assumed data protection issue

  • SawdayJames
    James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England

    @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.

  • Shelo_Mrs
    🌸Shelo🌸 (@Shelo_Mrs) reported from Bolton, England

    @O2 why is it IMPOSSIBLE to speak yo somebody about your crappy service & non existent network????? £50 per month for NO SERVICE AT ALL for almost 12 months ! That's £600 shocking company!!

  • StevePickupTM
    Stephen Pickup (@StevePickupTM) reported from Lower Darwen, England

    20 years with @O2 and this will be my last contract with them come September the staff in the Blackburn store need a lesson in salesmanship when sat in front of a customer looking down at their phone texting is not a great way of convincing people to stay with the network

  • AlexHamer1
    Alex Hamer (@AlexHamer1) reported from Blackburn, England

    @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?
