O2 UK possible issue on Nov 5, 2026: what we saw

Our checks saw problems for 16 min, from Nov 5, 2026, 11:20 AM ET to Nov 5, 2026, 11:36 AM ET. It peaked as outage at 11:20 AM ET.

This incident did not meet our evidence bar for a confirmed outage (2 or more of our own checks failing plus a second independent source, not under review), so it is not listed as one. How we verify outages
