I've been a long term O2 customer now for years and never really had a problem until the last 5 or 6 months.
Generally 4g/5g strength and speed is fine everywhere (York, Durham, The Lakes, up a mountain) except in Newcastle city centre.
It never used to be a problem even in the football ground you could always get 4g or drop to 3g, but now its basically 3 or 4 bars but ZERO data. The phone is basically useless anywhere in the city centre even on non-match days.
We have 3 iPhone 12s on our account and all are exactly the same.
As soon as we leave Newcastle, and I mean just walk over the damn bridge then the data returns.
Switch off, reboot etc. none of that works.
I appreciate Newcastle can be a busy place but come on O2 what is the problem.
Its now a standing joke in the town and bars that you have to find someone with a non O2 phone to get a signal.

Shop no help btw.

Use the O2 My Network App to check for problems and report any other problems you find. Also register for Network updates

 

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

@SteveH65 I would imagine that there are plenty of free WiFi hotspots in and around Newcastle. See if these links are of any help to you:
