- Since the start of 2024, O2 has boosted 4G and 5G network capacity in over 600 postcodes in Aberdeen
- These upgrades mean that customers in Aberdeen will have access to faster and more reliable mobile connectivity than ever before, making it easier to use online services, work, play and stay connected with friends and family

O2 is announcing a significant upgrade to its mobile network in Aberdeen, after completing work to boost signal and services in over 600 postcodes since the beginning of the year.
The operator’s substantial investment to upgrade connectivity in Aberdeen is already providing residents and businesses with access to faster and more reliable mobile services.
The enhanced 4G and 5G network capacity means that customers in Aberdeen are now benefitting from improved mobile connectivity, making it easier to access essential online services, work remotely, stream content on the go or simply stay connected with friends and family.
These upgrades are part of Virgin Media O2’s broader network upgrade strategy. The operator is investing £2 million every single day to future-proof its mobile network and meet the increasing demands of customers for seamless connectivity.
This comes against a backdrop of rising demand, with the amount of mobile data consumed by O2 customers increasing 26% in 2023.
Steven Verigotta, Director of Mobile Delivery at Virgin Media O2, said: “With customers using more data than ever before, the improvements we’ve made at over 600 postcodes in Aberdeen will ensure local people and businesses can access reliable connectivity that is so essential in the modern world. We are continuing to invest in our network with future upgrades planned to ensure that we can continue to support our customers both now and in future.”
O2 is the only mobile network operator not to have reintroduced roaming fees in Europe and customers can save week-in week-out through Priority – its reward scheme which gives exclusive access to offers, prize draws, competitions, and presale tickets.
Three years ago, Virgin Media and O2 came together to supercharge the UK. Now, customers of both can supercharge their services and reap extra rewards through Volt. Alongside double mobile data, roaming in 75 countries, new and existing customers who take a Virgin Media broadband service and an eligible O2 Pay Monthly plan will receive a broadband speed boost to the next tier available – meaning customers on a 500Mbps Virgin Media package could be boosted to Gig1 at no extra charge.
