- walshemj 8y agoAnd some major major emergency ass pulling I was told by insiders.
- bonaldi 8y ago"Ass pulling"?
- Thev00d00 8y agoAn Ass Pull is a moment when the writers pull something out of thin air in a less-than-graceful narrative development, violating the Law of Conservation of Detail by dropping a Plot-critical detail in the middle, or near the end of their narrative without Foreshadowing or dropping a Chekhov's Gun earlier on.
- walshemj 8y agoChanged all the Cell tower id's en mass
- Crosseye_Jack 8y agoNot just data but also calls and text. Mother is on o2 and until about 6pm I was unable to call, was able to text her from about 4pm. Between 4 and 6 the calls were just failing with “called failed” and not even going to Voicemail, but texts was go though and I would even get delivery reports, just that calls wouldn’t connect.
- gambiting 8y agoYeah, O2 kept saying that calls and texts were not affected, but that was utter nonsense. I couldn't place a call most of the day, and texts would go out, but my phone would insist that sending failed. And then there was just no signal at all most of the afternoon.
- cjrp 8y agoAffected some other things too, like bus stop "next arrival" signs (which apparently use O2's 3G network).
