Poor signal in London

I joined O2 a few months ago and I regularly get really bad signal. Seems odd to me to still be seeing 3G in 2024. Even when I see 4G the data speeds become very slow... 

any tips anyone?

London is quite bad in places as O2 has more subscribers than the network can cope with

All we have is this

Guide: How can I sort out my network issues? 

Guide: Is the network down for me or everyone? 

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.

Poor data speeds are caused by there being insufficient spectrum/capacity deployed, for the amount of users. O2 are the last network to still have a 3G service live.

 

Although London is a large city to comment on, O2 are consistently rated in the bottom 2 networks for data performance in national performance tests.

 

Having said this, there are pockets of the city where O2 have a strong small cell deployment.
