My contract finishes in a couple of months, so I've started looking for a deal to replace it. I've always been an O2 customer, but I'm getting the distinct impression, that they are no longer interested in getting my relativley low usage business any longer.

They seem to the only company with no 18 month £15 contracts available.
The £20 contracts offer barely half the minutes and texts as the competition and gives a choice of a paltry 2 "free" phones and one of those is a blackberry style device with full keyboard.
The inclusive "browse and download" add-on appears to have gone so all web access is now an additional cost.
The monthly unlimited download add-on costs £7.50 compared to £5 for similar addons elsewhere.

It's looking like bye-bye O2, hello ???? for the next deal and I can't see why anyone would go with O2 these days unless they want an iphone.

I got no phone, 12 months, 1000 texts 400 mins. Free via cashback.

others have deals with phones included.
