Has o2 recently removed either 2g or 3g from their service please?

Nope, none of those have been removed from the network..

If you have localised issues then check here https://status.o2.co.uk

Also have a look at these guides Guide: How can I sort out my network issues? Guide: Is the network down for me or everyone?

This is not customer services and we dont have access to your account
I do not work for o2 or any VMo2 /Telefonica/Liberty Global Company

O2 is shutting down 3g next year but 2g will run on indefinitely.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.

When it happens I shall miss that H+ sign on my status bar.

So much nicer to look at rather than the 5G box I get on my other networks in the same place (sarcasm mode off)

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.

According to the page that you have hyperlinked @MI5 :-

"There are no immediate plans to switch off 2G. In the longer term, all mobile network operators have agreed with the UK government to switch off 2G by 2033".
