O2’s data network is down across the UK this morning, the mobile operator said.


O2 said it is investigating reports of issues when using 3G or 4G data, adding that “voice calls are working OK”.

“We apologise for any inconvenience,” the firm said, after problems were first reported at around 5.30am.

Downdetector, a website that tracks digital outages, said 1,662 complaints had been made before 7am, with the outages affecting London, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, Leeds and many other towns and cities.

Angry users took to Twitter to look for answers or simply vent their anger.

O2 directed users to a status checker to see whether their local network was affected, but the system didn’t appear to be working properly, and was unable to pin point postcode locations or even to display results for ‘London’.

Data is down for everyone, O2 claims it's just data but voice and texts not working for (most, it seems?) people either.

I reckon this will cripple them permanently tbh, they're going to lose an absolute tonne of customers . It's been off for 5+ hours and reports of community nurses not being able to contact their vulnerable patients, self employed people losing business, etc etc.

Just goes to show how reliant we are on being always in contact these days.

Also my wife is on O2 and she's down in London today .
