    @ThreeUK your app is busted and has been for weeks now! Forgotten password and it says it has sent an email or text and I never get one. Have tried 6 or 7 times now. Your live chat doesn't work on the app either. Not impressed!! May leave for a company that can make a working ap

    @ThreeUKSupport @intuMetrocentre I'm not joking...yous will be the death of my Godfather or he will end up in hospital then it turns serious...that's when yous end up in trouble and get the bad press yous deserve. Under the circumstances I'm sure someone high up with Three can have his contract ended in a shop.

    Can't wait to complain about this @ThreeUKSupport just had to buy a bus ticket cos your shitty service wouldn't load my month pass on my phone. Ahhhh what a waste man

    Richard Tubb (@tubblog) reported from Longbenton, England

    @M4tty_J @ThreeUK Hugely disappointing, isn't it? The whole reason I chose Three as a network is because I can use it anywhere. Now, we're headed to the bad old days of being disconnected abroad or paying through the nose. 😓

    David Mellstrom (@davidmellstrom) reported from Morpeth, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Pretty much anywhere indoors! I live in a ground floor flat at NE26 2RG and I have to have my phone on a windowsill to get even 1 bar of signal.

  • stobbsmeister
    Paddy (@stobbsmeister) reported from Seaham, England

    @ThreeUK counting down the days until I'm able to leave. I've overlooked the poor CS and data dead spots however the reintroduction of roaming charges (after banging the go roam drum for years) is the final straw. I'm sure I won't be the first or the last to jump to @O2

    Bootsy (@19bootsy68) reported from Dunston, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Your Indian call centres makes it very hard to sort anything out when you get passed to technical for technical to say they are putting you through to technical because this technical can't give the go ahead to cancel the contract. You're a sinister comedy act #cybermuggers.

    @ThreeUKSupport Damn. Come on Scotty, we’ve waited long enough now, tell them to hurry up lol

    @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport Yous are an absolute disgrace of a company. Totally uncaring. I have my elderly Godfather here nearly in tears...i hope yous feel ashamed...ive had to sit him down as I'm worried he has a funny turn. I need a UK number now I am worried. #threenetwork

    @_macca_pacca @SpeedtestAwards @ThreeUK It’s everywhere in town, I’ve been all over the north east when I was on 3 and the signal was crap and so were the speeds

    @ThreeUK I wish to cancel my home broadband with immediate effect. #threeuk

    Andy Kane (@andrewkane80) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport Jesus wept, I can't even cancel the contract as you are currently trying to figure out, again, why the first order didn't work. Hopeless

    @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUKSupport That’s not working, says please try later. These issues having been going on all week, how much longer are they going on for? My internet access is barely useable.

  • tedstercal
    Tedstercal (@tedstercal) reported from Sunderland, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Yes had Samsung support.Its funny that my work phones wifi connects but not my 3 phone which suggests it's the 3 phone wifi! I've been with 3 for years. I specifically went with 3 for this deal so I could access apps through Go Binge. Im stuck with a 2yr deal not fit for purpose!

  • ReubenPeccable
    Andrew Miller (@ReubenPeccable) reported from Seaton Delaval, England

    @ThreeUK Hey Three! I accidentally subscribed to your mobile wifi instead of a real broadband provider. Is there any chance I'll get a decent signal or am I just going to have to deal with having no internet for hours at a time?

  • japredchiu
    japred chiu (@japredchiu) reported from South Shields, England

    @ThreeUK please hear me. I called your customer service coz I have been receiving 2-3 mbps. This is far what u promise 25-35. I never had this speed. They told me to use the chat options rather than call. Still no answer. I queue on your store for almost 2 hours to solve this but

  • andrewkane80
    Andy Kane (@andrewkane80) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK just to let you guys know. Been told I still can't cancel my contract as you have to raise an issue again about first order (for 3rd time) which will take another 48hrs. Appalling service. Can't wait to cancel my second account

  • Legmo_2
    Legmo2 (@Legmo_2) reported

    @ThreeUK since your merge with Vodafone my signal at home has drastically dropped. One of the reasons I stopped using Vodafone's mobile broadband was due to the terrible signal. Prior to the merge I was hitting 250-300mb/s on my phone. It's been below 10mb since.

    @ThreeUKSupport query complaintis: 260422104352245. Still waiting for feedback?. Very poor service and communication!!

  • HjRobins
    Harriet (@HjRobins) reported

    I switched away from @ThreeUK because their customer service agent told me they have blazing fast 5G speeds of up to 100Mbps. I said that's awful. They said it's 100MB per second. I asked them to clarify. And they said it is 100 Mbps but I can pay £4 extra for high speeds. Awful.

    @ziontree @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport Quite possibly the worst customer service…in the world (although BT, EE & Plusnet are level *******)

    @ThreeUK I’ve complained about this before and I’m going to do it again. Why is your 4/5 g service in bishops Stortford town centre so bad .

    jimmy (@jimmysunny85) reported

    @ThreeUK sold me a dodgey phone that now the battery swells and has basically become a bomb! I have told them this since August 2025 so nearly a year and they taking zero responsibility!! This is the customer service they provide as long as you pay them all is well!! Stay clear

    @Benleo If you think that they’re bad, you haven’t tried @ThreeUK. I sometimes wake at 4am and cannot use the internet, I think I’ve cracked it and then it starts to buffer again 🤬
