However, no scientific evidence to back up such a theory, but who knows. O2 would never admit to such a thing.
You're just trying to make a link between the two when in all likelihood there is no link at all.
The outage last year was caused by a network registration server going down. Whenever a phone would try to connect to the network it would normally communicate with this server and the server would confirm if the handset was allowed on the network. It would have nothing to do with signal strength or quality, and even if the server were still dodgy it would be thousands more than just you and several others. It would be all or nothing, not a degraded signal.
O2 have been just as good as always for me. Very rarely lose signal, and when I do it is in various parts of the country where I wouldn't expect a fantastic signal anyway.
My mobile seems to be ok again now since I got home at 1 or 2 bars out of the 4 and text seems fine. I used to think 02 was a fine network but im slowly starting to think they are getting worse.

I'm obviously not as well versed as you on the technicalities of the workings of the mobile network and therefore have to bow to your superior knowledge in these matters.
Slap my wrist for such conspiratorial suggestions! :rolleyes:

All it says is we maybe carrying out some maintenance on our phone masts in this area on 23th and 24th January. Nothing about any 02 prolems this afternoon.

The website only shows ongoing or upcoming events. Doesn't show previous/resolved issues.
Last Friday when we first had snow O2 were having problems, noticed some people were tweeting about it.
Only problem is every postcode I put in around here said no 3G, no 3G and no 3G. I had to put in a code from my local Town to get a result. O2 really need to get thier backsides in gear. Apparenlty they are though, like headless chickens as one person put it.
