## What is the O2 network like in 2026?

O2 hosts giffgaff, Sky Mobile and Tesco Mobile, and it won Opensignal's Coverage Experience award in January 2026. That report used data from 1 October to 29 December 2025.

O2 belongs to Virgin Media O2, a 50:50 joint venture of Telefónica and Liberty Global. In Q2 2026 Virgin Media O2 reported 46.428 million total mobile connections. That total covers O2, giffgaff, O2 Business, IoT and MVNOs such as Sky Mobile and Tesco Mobile. Of these, 24.5 million were contract connections.

O2 launched 5G Standalone in 2024, according to Full Fact. Network awards describe the network, not proxy speed. A port's throughput also depends on the modem's location and your route.

## Which ASNs do O2 UK mobile IPs come from?

O2 UK uses two Telefónica UK ASNs, so an ASN lookup on an O2 IP can return either number. AS35228 (O2BROADBAND) announces the 82.132.128.0/17 O2 UK allocation. AS29180 (O2-ONLINE-AS) announces smaller blocks inside it.

Several ASN lists only show AS35228. If your check returns AS29180, the IP is still O2. Our [ASN lookup guide](https://pontproxy.com/guides/check-proxy-asn/) shows how to check with RIPEstat.

### O2 UK ASNs (RIPEstat, 5 October 2026)

| ASN | Name | Example ranges |
| --- | --- | --- |
| AS35228 | O2BROADBAND Telefonica UK | 82.132.128.0/17 (UK-O2UK-20030814) |
| AS29180 | O2-ONLINE-AS Telefonica UK | 82.132.128.0/22, 82.132.200.0/23 |

## Is a giffgaff, Sky Mobile or Tesco Mobile IP the same as O2?

Yes, in network terms. giffgaff, Sky Mobile and Tesco Mobile all run on O2, according to Wikipedia's list of UK MVNOs (September 2026). Their customers get IPs from O2's address ranges. Wikipedia also notes that Virgin Mobile customers were moved to O2 by December 2023.

An O2 port therefore covers the carrier context of several large UK consumer brands at once. That makes it a practical default for broad UK mobile checks.

## Why choose an O2 mobile proxy?

Choose O2 when you want one UK carrier that also covers giffgaff, Sky Mobile and Tesco Mobile users. Lets QA teams reproduce issues reported by O2 customers. Ad teams can verify UK mobile ad delivery, and SEO teams can run google.co.uk mobile checks from an O2 address.

Typical legitimate jobs:

- **Reproduce O2 or giffgaff issues** in apps and mobile checkouts.
- **Verify UK mobile ads** shown to O2 and MVNO users. See [ad verification](https://pontproxy.com/use-cases/ad-verification/).
- **Track mobile rankings** on google.co.uk from an O2 address. See [SERP tracking](https://pontproxy.com/use-cases/serp-tracking/).
- **Test coverage-sensitive flows**, such as location prompts, on the network Opensignal rated best for coverage experience.

O2 ports are not for SMS verification, account farming or ban evasion. Read our [Acceptable Use Policy](https://pontproxy.com/acceptable-use/).
