I have been with O2 now for a couple of years and I was very happy with the service when I first joined. I had a Blackberry Bold on a monthly contract and everything was great, everything worked fine and I was impressed with O2 in general.
I upgraded a while back, and ever since I seem to be plagued with issues. I changed from a Bold to a curve, although whether or not this makes any difference I am not sure. I can never get a proper signal, especially when I'm in my house. I can never get 3G, and if I try to set it for singular 2G or 3G manually I'll be lucky if I can even get one bar. It just reads SOS most of the time. When I do get coverage, it's either on GPRS or Edge.
I frequently get told that I cannot access the internet due to insufficient network coverage so I have to connect to my home wifi to browse on my phone. Also, I seem to get a lot of certificate errors recently too.
I did go into my local O2 store, but just got given another sim card and was told to try changing it, which made zero difference to the problem. I should probably go back.
I just feel I am paying a monthly fee for a really substandard service, and I don't think I want to continue paying for it until September next year at this rate.
Please can someone offer some advice? Has anyone else had this problem?
Many thanks.

Yes, Apple excel at this and allow you to contact them directly with warranty issues but then with the mark up on their products, their huge market base and having a shop that can quickly stop a broken phone or computer becoming a big public issue, they have the power to do this.
You make a good point. But Power, without the willingness to act, is impotent and I think that is the lesson O2 and others would do well to learn.
