Brand analysis

O2 is joint fourth in the Telecommunications in the UK table this wave after its score in Q2 2025 did not change wave on wave.

The UK’s biggest Telco (by subscribers) shares the spot with Sky, which added +1 to its Overall Effort Score wave on wave.

Looking at the pillars, Style of Communication is down by -2 vs last quarter, indicating a clear area of focus for the brand in future.

In January, O2 shut down its pay-as-you-go data-only mobile SIM service, leaving customers looking for alternatives. A plateauing Overall Effort Score compared to the growth seen in competitor brands like Plusnet and Sky indicates that perhaps O2 could be doing more.
