  • chengy888 Danny Cheng (@chengy888) reported from Blackburn, England

    @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport why have i just gone on the app to correct my direct debit details and it is in someone elses name and their account details? Data protection breach as i can see their billing details? Contactled live chat to be told noone can reply due to technical issue

  • Geo1604 George Caulfield (@Geo1604) reported from Leyland, England

    @ThreeUK why is your signal so shit time for a change I think

  • Dannymaddog Danny McKeown-Henshall (@Dannymaddog) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @PeterBayliss @Ofcom Must be a local issue for you - I’ve been relying on @ThreeUK for broadband as my @virginmedia 100mbps fibre line has been epically slow even phone calls made on Wifi calling are bad, switch to mobile and it’s perfect 👌

  • GayToryJon Jonathan (@GayToryJon) reported from Preston, England

    @ThreeUKSupport It was. But having never missed a payment in 15 years you’d think this would count for something. Clearly not.

  • thatprestonlad Benny Mc'Nally (@thatprestonlad) reported from Preston, England

    @ThreeUK No problems so far my end even tho I'm in the effected area

  • LouiseBoulsbee Louise Boulsbee (@LouiseBoulsbee) reported from Horwich, England

    @ThreeUKSupport what is the best way to get in touch if you don’t have online account (phone line not working despite saying open until 8pm)

  • nicjanemonaghan Nicola Monaghan (@nicjanemonaghan) reported from Blackburn, England

    @ThreeUK I would like to make a complaint about your staff customer service skills. My home broadband isn’t working either

  • dave6018 David (@dave6018) reported from Penwortham, England

    @SteveyAsp @ThreeUK @EE That what made me switch from three to ee , network congestion and the fact the 4g coverage from three in my area hasnt changed in 4 years, still no coverage, yet ee offer no 5g yet but 70-110mb 4g connection which is overkill but come in hand if my broadband goes down

  • dave6018 David (@dave6018) reported from Penwortham, England

    @SteveyAsp @ThreeUK @EE Exactly. But three are making it sound amazing and reality its terrible, yet ee speed is not headline grabbing but very usable in built up congested areas which i would take all day long

  • johnflomax John Lomax (@johnflomax) reported from Longton, England

    @ThreeUK Nah, don't give a shit!

  • simonnicholl Simon Nicholl (@simonnicholl) reported from Warton, England

    Come on @ThreeUKSupport help me out, please.

  • TheJamesBailey Jim Bailey (@TheJamesBailey) reported from Chorley, England

    @ThreeUKSupport I’m not sure to be honest. It’s not like it’s the worst thing, butnit is an inconvenience, and it’s annoying that I don’t know why 😂 the mystery haunts me!

  • bennydonagain Sam Donagain (@bennydonagain) reported from Blackburn, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Nope. Not a chance Stephie. I expect you to be busier than normal but service at the minute is shocking. I’m looking at upgrading my phone very soon and with what has gone on I may have to look elsewhere which I don’t really want to do being a customer of yours for years.

  • AdrianBeeby Adrian H Beeby (@AdrianBeeby) reported from Chorley, England

    @ThreeUK Data is as ‘okay’ if you could ever get a signal but then prices got crazy. What a nightmare giving notice was - the call operators just won’t give in and let you simply cancel. Moved to @giffgaff and been happy ever since. @giffgaff you are awesome.

  • GayToryJon Jonathan (@GayToryJon) reported from Preston, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Tried that before. Im pretty confident it’s not my phone it’s your service. Three has already admitted my signal is poor at home, I have a discount to my bill every month as you know this is an ongoing issue. Other 3 users are noticing, and telling you, the same.

  • Anthony_Hacking Anthony Hacking (@Anthony_Hacking) reported from Blackburn, England

    Updated my pay monthly sim plan today with @ThreeUK. Was on Unlimited data and texts + 200 mins for £18 a month. Had been on it since 2015. Then hang on 🤨 Today I saw they were offering Unlimited data, texts and calls for £20 a month! No brainier.

  • AngelaFrith1 Angela Frith (@AngelaFrith1) reported from Southport, England

    @ThreeUKSupport service in PR8 area is still shocking any update on why

  • monkey__nuts Rob (@monkey__nuts) reported from Southport, England

    @ThreeUKSupport I have 3 separate contracts with Three. All still affected by the outage. All three have had their monthly tariffs increased in recent months, with only general satisfaction of service stopping me from switching them Please advise of a possible eta for a fix

  • spanglysparkly Spangly (@spanglysparkly) reported from Blackburn, England

    @ThreeUKSupport iPhone XR bb3 0DU and no can’t get on there either.... getting a bit fed up with the signal issues

  • Dannymaddog Danny McKeown-Henshall (@Dannymaddog) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @tatumsfluffer @ASA_UK @ThreeUK @Ofcom Yup - I have this thought all the time! Worst in London I have to say from the last 36 hours!

  • missluciecb Lucie (@missluciecb) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport I’m not receiving an email to be able to set up an account. Please can you help? I tried phoning and she was no help at all.

  • mrchrisjohn Christopher John (@mrchrisjohn) reported

    Dear @ThreeUK your payments system is not working Try to top up and account - Bank authorises the payment but then your system does not collect the payment so the credit cannot be applied to the account

  • jordencassidy Jorden Cassidy (@jordencassidy) reported

    @ThreeUK my signal in the SK6 area is shocking its just took me 15 mins to get one website to load up. I pay you for 4G Internet but don't get it. My signal indicator on screen mostly shows a H but I don't know what that means. I rarely have more that 1 bar of signal either.

  • AdzCrawford2003 Adam Crawford (@AdzCrawford2003) reported

    @therichchic @ThreeUKSupport I would recommend complaining. And give them 2 weeks to fix it. If they don’t, you should be allowed to leave penalty free if you have a sim only deal.

  • MattClarkson3 Matt Clarkson (@MattClarkson3) reported

    @Italiakeogh @ThreeUK Get on a proper network flower

  • annamorrison124 Anna Morrison (@annamorrison124) reported

    @ThreeUK issues should not take this long to be resolved. This live chat is not helpful.

  • MissVeeP Vaishali Patel (@MissVeeP) reported

    @ThreeUK I’ve had the most frustrating experience talking to your staff today. Phone lines not working, bad connection. Not great.

  • dibdobw Woody and the Bandits (@dibdobw) reported

    @ThreeUK yet again the internet has ground to a halt! Shocking service we we are expected to pay for every month!

  • JacobWAAV Jacob-WAAV (@JacobWAAV) reported

    @ThreeUK Has failed me at almost every step. The only thing they didn't drop the ball on was providing me a router. (But even then. I had to buy add ons to boost the already awful signal.)

  • thepetrolshed The Petrol Shed (@thepetrolshed) reported

    @ThreeUK any ideas why your 4g broadband is now less than 1mb in TN3 9AG? Are you still making ‘improvements’ to your network? Or is this the improved offer?
