Recently the head of O2 has issued an apology to the many customers who could not access data because the network was overwhelmed by bandwidth hungry smartphone users in London, the iPhone being the main culprit. The mobile operator has blamed the crash on "a fault with the allocation of IP addresses”, and claims to be fixing the problem.
These issues only seem to be effecting users with Smartphones on an O2 contract as the O2 pre-pay service, which has a different access point was not effected by the crash.
Mr Dunne, the CEO of O2 stated the following on the matter:
"Where we haven't met our own high standards then there's no question, we apologise to customers for that fact,"
So now we ask what has O2 done to solve these ongoing problems? Well for a start they invested Billions of pounds building over 200 new network towers in places worsely effected; it would be nice to see AT&T do the same thing in the US.
