UK mobile networks go down as people work from home due to coronavirus
Major phone networks in the UK have reportedly gone down or are having issues, leaving Britons struggling to work from home in the coronavirus outbreak. UK mobile networks O2, EE, Vodafone and 3 are all said to be struggling just one day after Boris Johnson told people to avoid workspaces. Problems with O2 were initially reported to Down Detector at about 9:14 GMT, while concerns have been raised across the country about other networks. Many customers have taken to social media to complain they have not been able to make calls all morning, with some claiming business had already been dramatically slowed down.
