What is up with O2 Network !

[digitalwolf]

The O2 signal around Middleton (North Manchester) is non existent. Quite literally in most parts as there's been a mast issue for about 4 years. Even when it 'worked' it was noticeably slower than EE / Vodafone.

There's actually an O2 store in the town centre and I genuinely don't know how they sell a single phone. There is absolutely no O2 signal there at all due to the mast issue and it being inside an old, concrete arndale. They must either be fantastic salespeople or conmen.

Majority of O2 stores have a micro cell inside.

Obviously won’t provide coverage in the bigger area but the shop will have coverage.

I’m glad it’s not just me. I had been an EE user for years but me and my wife (also on EE) would not have coverage on a few recent trips away and thought maybe it would make sense for one of us to be on different network, so we have a better chance of at least one of us having a signal when we are in low coverage areas. So I switched to o2 about two months ago and have barely had any useable 3G / 4G signal for data since and have just ordered a new PAYG EE sim this afternoon.
