Hi,

My mobile data speed for a couple of months both inside and outside the home is 2 mega bit. I swapped sim with my wife she is on Virgin and I could get 25meg with Virgin sim same speed as she would get on her phone. Any advise how I address this with o2. Have a 30gb monthly allowance

@Vas

Check https://status.o2.co.uk and see if there are any issues in your area.

Is your phone showing 4G, 4G+. 2G or 3G?

Lots of things can affect the data speed such as distance from the o2 mast, contention on the network.

No issues reported for your postcode @Vas 

So report it through the button here O2 Service Status

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.

Thanks for replies. Have reported it a few times and checked network status is fine. Can’t get to talk to anyone at o2 automated messages no chat all busy.
When I put my wife’s sim I get full speed about 45meg, swapped back to o2 1.2 meg

Probably best to switch networks when you can @Vas
