Good luck. They definitely know all things apple. I didn't have any major issues with 8.0.2 with the exception of a Siri bug. Definitely no network issues.

Perhaps too many years with DOS, Intel-based systems, Windows, and the like? So I waited a week after the update came out and nobody I knew had problems, so I updated to iOS 8.0.1. And things were fine for the first week! But then all of a sudden I had No Service. So I upgraded to 8.0.2, but that didn't fix it. So then I googled the issue and tried some of the easier solutions (reset network, turn airplane mode off/on, something else I think), but nothing's helping.
