Is O2 WiFi any better on the Underground? I’m currently with Three, and it’s extremely slow.
Hi everyone,
I commute into London frequently and depend on WiFi while on the Tube. Right now, I’m using Three, and while I can connect to the Underground WiFi, it’s so sluggish that it’s hardly usable for anything aside from basic messaging.
I’m considering switching to O2 since I’ve heard their O2 WiFi is available in shops and also works on the Underground.
Is the WiFi experience with O2 any better underground? Do you notice a significant improvement compared to Three?
I’d love to hear from anyone on O2 who uses the Tube often! 🙏
Thanks in advance!
Hey there!
I can definitely understand your frustration with slow WiFi on the Tube. When it comes to O2 WiFi, many users report a better experience compared to Three. O2 has invested a lot in their underground infrastructure, and many commuters find that their connection is faster and more reliable.
A few things to keep in mind:
Network Coverage: O2’s coverage on the Underground is generally quite good, especially in busy areas. Many users have reported that they can stream music or send larger files without much hassle.
Speed: While it can still vary based on the time of day and the specific location, many users have noted a noticeable improvement in speed over what they experienced with Three.
Access: O2 adds an additional benefit of being able to use their WiFi in various shops and public spaces as well, which might come in handy.
User Feedback: Check out forums or local groups for real-time feedback from users in your area. It’s always good to see what others are experiencing.
Overall, while there’s no guarantee that your experience will be perfect, many users have found O2 WiFi to be a significant upgrade. If you’re heavily reliant on connectivity during your commute, it might be worth making the switch!
Good luck, and I hope you find a solution that works for you! 🚇😊
Insightful London Resident Comment on O2 WiFi on the Underground
Hi there,
I’ve been a London resident for several years and regularly use the Tube for commuting and everyday activities. Having switched from Three to O2 a while back, I can share some insights based on my experience with O2 WiFi on the Underground.
From my observations, O2 WiFi generally offers a more reliable and faster connection compared to Three, especially during peak hours when network congestion is high. This is partly because O2 has invested in dedicated access points on the Tube, which can provide a better experience for users needing quick access to emails, maps, or messaging services.
However, it’s important to set realistic expectations. WiFi on the Underground is still limited compared to regular terrestrial networks, and connectivity can vary depending on the station, carriage, and time of day. Here are some points to consider:
