O2 services reduced after equipment damaged by thieves Tuesday, 17th May 2011
Customers of the mobile phone company have reported significant problems with basic services after equipment was damaged by thieves at an undisclosed location in East London.
Customers across London, east Sussex and Kent cannot make calls, use the internet or send or receive texts and emails after essential equipment was damaged in the early hours of this morning. Engineers are currently working to replace the damaged and stolen equipment which is expected to be back in service later this evening.
O2 have declined to go into detail about the incident, though a spokesperson has commented that it was "a well organised theft". Despite this significant service interruption, O2 has emphasised that they are making every effort to "restore full service as soon as possible following this unforeseen incident".

Revolution in sight for T Mobile and Orange with arrival of Everything Everywhere on high street Thursday, 10th February 2011
Lost signal and run down batteries are set to become a thing of the past for mobile phone users as Everything Everywhere rolls out the first of their high street stores this month. Billed as "one company running two of Britain's biggest brands", Everything Everywhere will merge Orange and T Mobile to deliver a service centered around convenience for the user. It seems that the brand hope to take the lead from the tech moguls at Apple with a highly conceptual store design, where customers will be encouraged to 'hang out' whilst accessing the store's free Wi-Fi, or charge up their phones regardless of hand set design. The does-what-it-says-on-the-tin approach will be a welcomed change for phone users across Britain and will hopefully mark the beginning of faster, more reliable communication with mobiles. The first store, in Altrincham, will open on 18 February, followed by shops in Bishops Stortford, Eltham Lowestoft and Evesham. The trial is set to last 6 months.
