O2 customers across the country are angry after network coverage went down during David Cameron's appointment as Prime Minister.
Complaints flooded Twitter, Facebook and the O2 website as users were unable to access the internet on their mobiles during one of the biggest UK news events of the year.Customers also complained they could not make or receive calls and texts.One customer on the company's website said she was "on the brink of throwing my phone against the wall".
It is believed the coverage went down from 6pm until 3am with services across parts of the Midlands, South West and Northern Ireland being affected. O2 say full service has now resumed although there may be a "few remaining issues with voicemail". The company said the network fault was caused by a damaged transmission link following planned engineering work in Yate, near Bristol.
"We apologise to our customers for the loss of service," a spokesperson said.

It happens. Technology is no more flawless than we are who create it. What is not perfect can not create perfection. It's annoying when it happens. Especially at what can be critical times. But it does look like a bit of a bad coincidence. Still let's hope anyone that does throw their mobile phone against the way also does the right thing and send it in for mobile recycling hey Mr Mopay. :)
