O2 dropped the ball in Olympic cycle race Twitter fiasco

O2 Stratford to Liverpool Street

I have had O2 for three years and there has never been full coverage on the little railway line in that obscure part of the world through which trains run from Stratford to London. Phone calls cut off as you get close to Liverpool Street. When I complained I was told the coverage was good.

They put the Olympic Park there now and there is still scrappy coverage, just even more people know about it.
