I've heard mention that O2 uses the VirginMedia (fibre) network ... is this true? If so could it explain why a three day (and counting) VM outage coincides with shockingly bad mobile data on giffgaff (aka O2 network)?

@sx***5 @giffgaff The reason I know there's 15 is that we've been trying to get some things changed down the access road.
Unfortunately it's an unadopted path ... and we're also trying to get that changed to make other enforcements more easily applied.

@giffgaff It's multiple postcodes from Bolton, Altrincham and Manchester. It's not a mast problem. It's a gifgaf problem.

@CPWTweets Hi Jack, issue is possibly @giffgaff So I'm on to them, but maybe another possibility is the phone I brought from you, (Original Oppo Reno) maybe has bands that are only compatible with certain networks? Just thinking out loud. Data speed is awful, even after double chkng APN's

If anyone is trying to help an isolated elderly person get setup with a new mobile phone during lockdown, avoid @giffgaff. One month of admin and 2 broken devices received in a row with no attempt to make it right. Brands will be remembered for how they behave right now.

@velobetty @mzdt If you need this for work, pick up a second sim such as giffgaff that's on the 02 network. You can use it to test, eliminating a problem at your end and top up when you need it.
