Wish O2 did something about its signal I'm paying for 2 contracts again

I'll run a speed test later when I'm
Home to check if the speeds are still as high as my test carried out a few months ago.

I don't experience any buffering.

That must be so annoying. 😞

Thanks @Anonymous I think it must be more people using it although I thought 4g was supposed to somewhat overcome that

It is @Anonymous especially when it was great before 😞

What I've read Damien.

"Speed and contention

Howett said that the browsing experience using 4G is highly influenced by the number of other people using it at the same time. At the moment, EE’s network is fairly empty, so the download speeds and upload speeds are very fast, but this could change as the network becomes more congested"

Umm ok well I guess I just have to put up with it tbh it didn't help O2 giving people 4g at no extra cost that must have increased usage dramatically I would rather pay a premium to get the full experience

I dunno how long it will take but I'm holding on to a thin string now

Well in my opinion I have never had a major issue with o2 coverage on 2g accross the uk (travel a lot for business) etc (to make calls) I live in an o2 3g not spot but that may change soon but I have broadband at home for data. Data when traveling has been ok for the apps that need it on 2g 3g and now 4g (speed is not always required)

O2 customer service have been very good (still all uk on business contracts)

And as o2 have taken the coverage obligation lot and will have to provide the best data network coverage or be penalised by ofcom! (minimum 2mb indoor 98% population (not everywhere but places where postcodes relate to houses)) by end 2017.

Horses for courses as they say if a network is not working for you as has been advise many times check out the competition before you sign a new contract.

Just a balanced point of view

I'm finding this a little difficult to grasp @lifeishard2014

You had two contracts with O2 and EE and gave the EE to your brother. You stuck with O2 and now need to take out a contract with T-Mobile? Why on earth stick with O2 if it didn't meet your needs?
