Think the problem with 02 was for every one today & yesterday..and was not to do with being cut off..as the following says..
The fault, which first came to light at around 1pm on Tuesday afternoon, affected O2 customers with pay-monthly handsets. Many iPhone users reported difficulty getting online and checking emails, and a number of other handsets were affected, although BlackBerry users were unscathed. Voice calls were not affected, and customers were still able to access the internet and their email services over a Wi-Fi connection.
O2 apologised for the outage, which it blamed on the system which allocates users with a unique IP (internet protocol) address when they log on to the data network.
“From early afternoon yesterday, we suffered a fault with our data network. We have identified the cause of the fault, which relates to the allocation of IP addresses needed to establish a data connection,” said the telecoms company in a statement.
“We have managed to restore data services to the vast majority of customers and are doing everything we can to ensure the few remaining customers are back online as soon as possible. We are very sorry for the loss of data service to our customers.
