Does everyone else find O2’s 4g coverage an absolute ballache?? 
literally the old days of dial up internet were quicker ! When are going to properly address this?  
5g seems an awfully long long way away!

@Rhdjy 

 

Have you checked https://status.o2.co.uk for an issue in your local area? 

 

I dont have any issues across Yorkshire with o2 data speeds across 4G or 5G, I do with some other networks. 

 

A lot of factors affect the data speed on Mobile Networks:


Radio Power been transmitted

Radio Waves been received by your phone, and how your phones modem / chipset deals with the data service

Buildings as radiowaves cant penetrate them, and built up areas stop them

Backhaul speed

- Pixel 8 Pro - o2 and Vodafone UK
