O2 Outage In London Last Week

Filed in archive Operators by tom on August 13, 2006

O2 have reported that an outage to O2's network last week was not related to the UK airport alert that also happened on Thursday, but was caused by damage to cables owned by BT, connecting O2 with BT's fixed line service. The outage affected some mobile phone services in parts of London, Essex links

and Kent were affected.

I was testing some new mobile WAP services in central London that day, and oddly O2 was the only carrier that worked flawlessly.

Add your response to O2 Outage In London Last Week: Response from: Jag (08/13/06 12:44am) Glad to hear it! The O2 network in UK carries approximately 60% of UK data traffic (GPRS & 3G). So you would expect there to be pretty good data transponder capacity in high population cells compared with other lower-traffic-carrying networks. Response from: Arty (08/14/06 9:31am) This shows you how advanced the concept was. Way back then most people were accessing the Internet with 56k modems. GPRS was totally flakey.
