[UK] O2 network is down

[Don]

O2 in the UK has been out of action since about 4-5am. O2 are blaming it on one of their suppliers. No doubt they will find a way to blame it on Huawei kit - it seems to be jump on Huawei year just now. Just because they won't install the GCHQ/NSA backdoors into their kit, preferring Chinese ones.

But it isn't just data round here, voice is out as well.

Well done O2. Wonder how long it'll take them to find a reason to blame Chinese kit for all 02's errors. They probably won't fix it till they have polished their excuses.

Twitter is mildly amusing on O2's woes just now. The sense of entitlement is gigantic.

Maybe they should just do some work instead.

Or maybe it's a date thing being that it is 6/12/18.

Doesn't work so well in the US as 12/6/18.

Or in the RSA which is AFAIK the only place to use ISO dates where it is 2018/12/06

The Grauniad did run an article saying it was because BT were removing Huawei kit from their (EE) 4G network.
