Is this possible? (strange issue with battery life)

So today for no reason (no app updates or anything recently) I noticed that my battery was dying quicker than normal when on 4G but doesn't die as quick on wifi. When I wasn't using the phone the battery life was as expected so wasn't a wakelock. It was only when using the phone and using data that the battery % went down a lot quicker than normal. A thought came to me that maybe the mast is having issues and draining more battery? Anyway I asked a friend where I work also on o2 and he noticed more battery drain today than usual. Interestingly there was also work on the mast where we both work yesterday. So is it possible that the mast is faulty or having issues, and draining the battery more than normal? Signal is fine and doesn't drop

So anyway, back to the original problem. It now seems to be fixed, thankfully, so whatever O2 did yesterday, please don't do it again.

My battery issue (on Three) has also cleared up today, its 5pm and i've got 84% battery, whereas this time yesterday the phone would have been totally out of battery by around 2pm. Really strange wonder what was going on yesterday!

Everyone seems back to normal today thankfully and I doubt we'll ever know what happened yesterday!
