O2 admits slowing down customers' internet speeds dramatically when roaming

O2 has admitted to deliberately slowing down customers' mobile internet speeds. The mobile operator has been throttling network bandwidth for people roaming in the EU. Roaming charges were scrapped in the EU on 15 June, meaning you can use your phone as you would at home, without being hit with enormous bills. However, since then, O2 has been making it harder for phone users to actually do anything online while they're abroad. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.
