Is it true giff gaff is sapping the o2 service?

Hi,

Accoring to the map my area BN32AB should have good indoor and outdoor coverage!... its been apalling for months and slowly declining, i now have "no service" 90% of the time indoors where i work, and occasional low unusable signal the rest of the time. i used to have full time service and be able to make and receive calls always. thats now history. i have to stand outside in the street to even get a low service.

I know many other o2 users having the same problem and the general concensus is giff gaff users are placing such a heavy load on the system that it has become too over loaded and week to work as it should and as it used to work!!

Im not the only O2 users wanting to get out of their contract and switch to a provider that has full signal still.

Whats the deal O2? why has the signal become so bad?

Why am i paying nearly £40 a month for such a bad service? its costing me work with constant missed calls!!

Hi

Interesting. GG is my next stop after my contract on 02 finishes!  I believe 02 wants to see the back of me lol. When I go searching on 02 and I speak to chat they are as much use as a chocolate Fireguard.  Harsh, but trust me 02 soon dump you when you stand up to them.  GG might be better, might not, but worth a punt.

Hi Dave. You have to go with the provider that gives you the best service and signal. There are many to choose from. Best of luck...:smileywink:

This for me coming in from the gg community is odd to see as the gg community are always moaning that 02 customers get priority over them. Although I am not techy I don't think its priority as the gg staff staff have repeatedly denied this but its the amount of bandwidth which has been purchased and congestion then of course the local area coverage. My view is you got to go with the best value and what you can afford for us that means 3 contracts as the coverage is the only worth while one at a reasonable price for what what data hungry kids need. Then we all have gg sims as back up and I have my o2 sim that I have nursed along for many years.

Data is slower on gg due to the amount of bandwidth available but calls and texts services are much better vfm.

Hi,

So what you're saying is a high demand on the mask (thousands of those little giff gaffers talking to each other for free!!! all day and all night (and the tesco ites)) does not effect the signal in any way?

So a mask can take any amount of traffic no problem?? i find that hard to believe?

Don't ask why I'm quoting a 2 year old post,
I didn't resurrect it.
