Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Penarth and nearby locations:

  • Bubwal Ade (@Bubwal) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @RIKZ200 @EE @jay_smithy_13 @ThreeUK I couldn't agree more. 3's coverage is the worst of them all. Duped by their lying 'coverage' map. Can't even get a signal in my house. Roll on moving back to #EE

  • christianfclark Christian Clark (@christianfclark) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport Yes I usually switch between when my 4G struggles. My calls have been dropping and not working properly too though in a variety of locations.

  • peterkin1010 Peter MacCabe (@peterkin1010) reported from Barry, Wales

    @DJAshBash @ThreeUKSupport I'm a Three user and have had experience of both good and bad network in and around the Cardiff area. What Three are stating is true but it's taking longer than they planned originally. Three have the largest 5G bandwidth allocation of all the UK networks plus they also have..

  • x_Gabrielle_x Gabrielle Jenkins (@x_Gabrielle_x) reported from Newport, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport Worst company i’vr ever encountered

  • thisisjmx James Vincent 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@thisisjmx) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    So 2 weeks ago there was a 4G issue in my village with speeds in kbps range. It's been better but last few days now fine 50-70 Down, around 18 Up. @ThreeUKSupport It's not easy when living a completely mobile network operator life. No home fixed ISP. 1/2

  • peterkin1010 Peter MacCabe (@peterkin1010) reported from Barry, Wales

    @DJAshBash @ThreeUKSupport @VodafoneUK @ThreeUK I am also on Vodafone. And I would agree they now have overall a formidable network But they have less bandwith 5G than Three..50mHz as opposed to 140mHz so when Three eventually launch 5G 5G it'll be interesting how it all pans out.

  • abbie_hunt abbie (@abbie_hunt) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUK I had to change my data to ‘3G’ as advised from your in store staff, because the network is so slow atm.

  • thisisjmx James Vincent 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@thisisjmx) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport Yeah there weren't any issues. Just no inside signal. There was definitely no 3G & no VoLTE either. Just thought I'd mention it. Mayb a consideration for future network upgrades.

  • christianfclark Christian Clark (@christianfclark) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport Have been with @ThreeUK for years and always been very happy with service. However since renewing to a 24 month contract and 5G getting turned on, my service has been absolutely terrible. Terrible or no 3G/4G, calls cutting out or failing. 1/2

  • _ellielyne ellie 💫 (@_ellielyne) reported from St. Georges, England

    @ThreeUKSupport I don’t know what Three are trying to do but the use of emojis is sending off the wrong message. I’m going to be filing a complaint to the Ombudsman.

  • x_Gabrielle_x Gabrielle Jenkins (@x_Gabrielle_x) reported from Newport, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport Worst company i’ve ever encountered. No wonder why your basically failing as a company

  • TheMMEvent Mike Anthony Moreno (@TheMMEvent) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Another day where @ThreeUK fails to provide decent phone service. I’ve got full signal but yet my services is so slow. #whatamipayingfor

  • Dariogutier Darío Gutier (@Dariogutier) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport Yeah and the problem was still there, my phone was changed because apparently was the phone and the problem is still here! It’s been 2 years contract in hell!! I can’t wait to finish it

  • MisCatD Cat 🖤 (@MisCatD) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUK customer service is horrendous

  • gingio Shane (@gingio) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @NathanWyburnArt @Apple I’m having a similar issue and @ThreeUK won’t do anything about it. They told me to download some app which won’t help anyway as it’s unknown caller. I think next step is I’ll be forced to change my number 😐

  • Dariogutier Darío Gutier (@Dariogutier) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport Is the same whit whatever I do. Every area I’m going specially when is crowded around me. I have changed SIM cards, phone and the problem is still here

  • peterkin1010 Peter MacCabe (@peterkin1010) reported from Barry, Wales

    @DJAshBash @ThreeUKSupport ..a new chunk of 4G 1500mHz aka Ban.d 32. When they're actually commissioned the Three network has huge potential to deal with all these issues virtually overnight. Sadly they don't communicate the cause and ther solutions very well hence disappointed customers.

  • x_Gabrielle_x Gabrielle Jenkins (@x_Gabrielle_x) reported from Newport, Wales

    On hold to @ThreeUK possibly the worst phone company i’ve ever encountered in my whole life

  • richieh Richie H  (@richieh) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport Haven't had any service at all since yesterday and still nothing, with a business to run.....

  • AnnaB_Cdf Anna Brzezinska (@AnnaB_Cdf) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Just came back from North Wales and thanks god I have a sat nav & sos button in my @MercedesBenz as otherwise my journey in the morning would involve searching for an actual road map since @ThreeUK was down, so no service nor data during 4h journey from Cardiff 👎😑🙄 #threedown

  • Liam_ward97 Liam Ward (@Liam_ward97) reported

    @carefreechilly @ThreeUK Not even that good here in Wimbledon. May be moving to EE soon, they seem to have the best signal.

  • Campsy73 Campsy73 (@Campsy73) reported

    @ThreeUK Hey three - your website is down and I can’t make calls on my phone, nor can my partner. It says ‘your service does not allow access to this number’ What a gives?

  • G_Hughes86 GH (@G_Hughes86) reported

    @dunny6times @O2 I’ve moved to @ThreeUK lately and can barely get **** all when going the match. Was the same at OT

  • Kmlinger Kelly Linger (@Kmlinger) reported

    @ThreeUK I have spent an age on live chat in the last 2 days. My phone number has been spoofed. I am trying to change my number. I have had 50+ calls from people who have received missed calls from my number but it is not me. Someone needs to call me to help sort this out ASAP!

  • Jack_Wharton02 Jack W (@Jack_Wharton02) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport my data isn’t working in Birmingham. Showing 3G but nothing loads, I should have 5G. Tried restarting my phone, taking out sim and resetting network settings but nothing is working. Can only get internet when connected to wifi

  • travelred Steve (@travelred) reported

    @sarahmufc93 @EE That sucks. Only advice would be don't move to @ThreeUK ,the only provider I've paid to leave mid contract when they couldn't provide a half decent signal outside... Advised me to turn off 4G on my phone as their 3G signal was better...

  • Judgie74 LJ74 (@Judgie74) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport the worst company to deal with in my entire life - shocking customer service team , who can I contact who isn’t in a call centre on the other side of the world !!

  • SuperSajuuk Gordon (@SuperSajuuk) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Hi there, I have tried this but it doesn't work. Even though I'm putting the mobile data SIM into another device [an iPhone] and navigate to the website while connected to the 3 network [no wifi], the website just keeps saying I'm not connected to 3 and to try again. 😐

  • sarahmufc93 Sarah (@sarahmufc93) reported

    @travelred @EE @ThreeUK Weirdly I was going to switch to 3 as Steffan is on there and he gets perfect signal! Didn’t want to chance it with anyone else.

  • CKablooie Phil Davis (@CKablooie) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport But they are no different if you are a loyal customer to being a new customer.
