A MAST NEAR YOU ISN'T WORKING

[Anonymous]

My daughter lives less than 4 miles away from me but it may as well be the other side of the moon.  For more than a week now the O2 Live Status Check shows the following for her Postcode:-

Live results for BT27 x??, County Down

•  Sorry a phone mast close to you isn't working

  This means you might experience problems making calls, using the internet, or sending/receiving emails in this area. 

  That really is not very helpful at all.  What is needed is an indication of when repair work will be carried out and how long it is likely to be before normal service is restored. 

  What is the best way to get up to date and reliabkle information from O2 as regards network problems?

Hi  @Cleoriff   Carpe Diem?  Doesn't that mean "complain all day long"?  Should be motto of the O2 Users Club.

Ah @Anonymous  and here's me thinking it meant 'seize the day'.....

However, I do see what you mean...

Sorry!   Mea culpa! 

Off in search of sackcloth (ashes might be difficult - we have gas heating).

Can this part of the thread  be moved to off-topic please

& have a subject title something to do with 'Latin mottos' or such-like

Yes each network has it's own infrastructure and some mast share.

Ie : O2 mast shares with Vodaphones in areas.

Each have their own drop outs and fringe coverage areas along with congestion possibly playing a part.
