O2 having a few issues
Seems that the O2 network (which includes Tesco) are having a few problems today, thousands of people complaining because they can't access one thing or another.
It certainly brings home just how fallible these things are, one bad piece of equipment, cable, switch or whatever can disrupt the lives of so many . . . Obviously some users have genuine problems due to this issue, but I guess most are just annoyed they can't access facebook while on the bus to town ;) |
Re: O2 having a few issues
It must be major, because even when I worked there (15 years ago) resilience and fail-over were designed in from the start of build.
Calls are working, just not the data services. |
Re: O2 having a few issues
Yes you'd expect 'failsafe' mechanisms to be in place . . I think I read somewhere the issue was with a third party provider, no idea who or what that would be though?

Re: O2 having a few issues
Yea it seems to be a National Outage .. i just got a few texts returned as unsent there .WhatsApp is working when using it in the house and using the VM Wi-Fi but as soon as i go outside i'm losing the 4g signal and can't send WhatsApp messages ...
Just went outside to test it out of noseyness lol :dunce::D i could have just turned Wi-fi off on the mobile and tested it in the house but i was needing some red onions for me soup from the shops anyway :erm: |
Re: O2 having a few issues
Having just had a very quick read of what they (Son of . .) offer/provide globally, I'd go with the software update scenario myself, but I'm no telecoms engineer :D
