You'd expect decent reception all over the central London area especially, I can barely get ANY phone reception and often have NO reception when at home.

I went to the lake district, in the middle of nowhere. I took my old vodafone phone and my Iphone. No reception with O2, full bars with the Vodafone one!

O2's broadband network, in my case near the Poplar Exchange is an absolute nightmare. They actually started to throttle the 0,5MBPS connection so now I get 14-26kb/s between 5-11pm.

AOL?? Do they still exist? They were crap 10 years ago!

I've been a customer of O2 for coming up to 3 years now (and I want my next phone to be an Nokia N97, Toshiba TG01 or a Sony Aino - but O2 shot their wad at Apple's iphone, so there's no chance of any of those!) and whilst I've had no problems at all with their mobile phone network, the same can't be said for their broadband. I've recently switched from Orange to O2 and as soon as I made the change, my broadband speeds dropped dramatically. Whilst once I was able to download files at up to 800KBps, now I struggle to get 600KBps, and as for online gaming I get 120ms+ ping times. It's almost as if the connection goes up to the North of Scotland before being redirected to Maidenhead and then getting put onto the internet. So yes, O2 crack on and either put your hardware in exchanges or at least improve your normal ADSL connection. Whilst you're on, stop making "Free internet" promises with your iphones or put them on really low minutes and texts contracts to compensate, and use the money earned from that to sell proper mobile phones which have other features, rather than a media player with a phone feature.

There O2 network fixed, now for AOL, does anyone have any nuclear devices to hand?
