Month 12, Year 2024.
12/12 - a full house! It’s been an action-packed year with innovation, speed and tenacity as #TeamVirginMediaO2 put their foot on the gas to close out 2024. ?
Check out our December highlights below.??
?? National Databank
Following our O2 Christmas ad unveiled in November, we lit up London’s South Bank last month with a thought-provoking art installation, featuring 100 miniature homes with some in darkness – representing the 1.9m households in the UK that are struggling to afford connectivity.??
Actor Will Mellor joined us at the unveiling which was also part of our announcement that all of our O2 retail stores are now National Databank hubs, making the scheme more accessible than ever before – meaning that people needing access to the Databank are given a Warm Welcome at all O2 stores across the country.?
??? A new flagship O2 store
We opened our brand-new flagship O2 store in Westfields, Stratford City, and were joined by Dermot O’Leary who treated us to an exclusive DJ set!??
?? Boosting our fibre backhaul network
We announced that we have improved our mobile network across the UK by connecting 1,000 mobile sites to our 10Gbps fibre backhaul network – meaning an increase in capacity and reliability for our customers.?
?? Online safety
With more and more children and young people putting smartphones at the top of their Christmas lists, we issued some advice with Internet Matters for parents and guardians to keep their children safe over the festive period and beyond.??
