Hi all,
As the subject says, Quite a few phone masts in my area are not working. (Postcodes such as PO12 1HQ where I live, PO15 5RQ where I work and PO1 3TZ at Gunwharf Quays just across Portsmouth Harbour from me to name just a few. It seems like all the masts are currently switched off!!
I noticed that 4G was slow around Christmas time and I have tweeted O2 about this along with the speeds I get on 4G from the Speedtest app on my phone. I once got a download speed of 0.04 Mbps & uploads speed of 0.11 Mbps. (See pic below)
All I get from them is "We're aware of the problem and are working hard to fix this." This is simply not good enough!!
I'd just like to know when it'll be fixed as 3 months later is taking the urine. Specially as all these masts seem to be "Out of order"
Has anyone else had this problem?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Faulty masts need time to fix and sometimes access to the masts is difficult and sometimes they aren't even maintained by O2 so they could be waiting on contractors or other networks, but either way, you will never get a date for a fix out of O2 for the reasons stated, ie, out of their control.
Keep checking your postcodes here http://status.o2.co.uk/ as that is the only place you are likely to get an updates at all.
Also, keep reporting the faults through the MyNetwork app as it acts as a constant reminder to them https://www.o2.co.uk/apps/my-network

Thanks for the reply,
That's all I've been doing lately is checking the service status page to see if it's been fixed.
Guess I'll just have to keep checking it day by day.

I was going to email O2 but thought I'd come on here first.

@Dave10321 You can lodge a complaint here: https://www.o2.co.uk/how-to-complain
I would also suggest calling customer service to complain as well. If you're lucky enough to get a sympathetic representative, you may be offered a goodwill gesture of some compensation for the lack of service, but there's no guarantee of that.
