O2 investigates major network outage across the UK


The telecommunications network O2 has acknowledged a problem with its service amid complaints from customers across the UK.

People in the most densely populated areas of all four UK nations reported being unable to use their O2 devices, according to the online tracking service Down Detector. In response, O2 said its engineers were looking into the problem “as a priority”.

The areas most affected included Edinburgh, Glasgow, Birmingham and Manchester, as well as south Wales, Belfast and most of south-eastern England, including London. Other areas, such as the East Midlands and the Leeds and Hull areas in Yorkshire, as well as north-eastern England and the south-west of England, around Bath and Exeter, and Norwich in Norfolk, also reported problems, according to Down Detector.

Reports of the problem started at about 4pm on Thursday and, since then, thousands of people have complained they have been affected. Among them was the former Manchester United and England football, Gary Neville:
