  • 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 😐

  • TweetterRoss Ross Maisey (@TweetterRoss) reported from Church Village, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport Incredible customer service NOT!!!

  • TweetterRoss Ross Maisey (@TweetterRoss) reported from Church Village, Wales

    @ThreeUK Extremely annoyed with your service. Been a customer for many years and have two lines. Tried to upgrade and was told a price. I asked was there any upfront costs to be told no At the end of the call I was asked for £90. Livid and will be leaving

  • 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

  • alunT Alun Thomas (@alunT) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUK I have just had the worst customer service experience I have ever had. My knowledge of your products and services was much better than your staff. Also, TV noise un background made it hard to understand the Glaswegian accent and adviser 2 spoke fast and did not listen 😡

  • TrystanOwens drunkmuppet (@TrystanOwens) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport can I make a complaint as recently you always seem to have problems in my area which is impeding my services.

  • MatthewJB1978 Matthew J B (@MatthewJB1978) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @SteffRidderwall @666hazard @chrisaarongrima @ChelseaFC @nikefootball @ThreeUK I don’t it just came up on my timeline and it looked awful just my opinion I’m sure some will like it

  • 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.

  • SimoneJonesx Simone Jasmine Jones (@SimoneJonesx) reported from Alway, Wales

    Imagine being a @ThreeUK customer with 2 contracts for years on end and being told to find another service provider because they can’t fix the masts in my area and then refuse to refund what I’ve paid off this mobile or even pay my upfront cost for my next phone 😡 #scabs

  • 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 Penarth, Wales

    @PedroClarke1 @ThreeUK Sadly my Three is still crap where I've in Penarth. And it hasn't changed much in the centre of Cardiff either.

  • 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

  • reece_evans Reece (@reece_evans) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England

    @ThreeUK why am I paying for a service that NEVER works at my house - BS494EQ

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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..

  • SimoneJonesx Simone Jasmine Jones (@SimoneJonesx) reported from Alway, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport You have lost me a customer as of today and my complaint is currently with the ombudsman. Your staff and managers are awful!

  • 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.

  • mjlynch Matt Lynch (@mjlynch) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport @cedmask 5 days without service with no end in sight!!!

  • RobertClough_ Robert Clough (@RobertClough_) reported

    @ThreeUK your app is down already. Maintenance work scheduled for tomorrow not today. Sort it out

  • CatfishKoko KB (@CatfishKoko) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport your home broadband connection has been the worst I’ve ever experienced. For months now connection in central London has been intermittent at best. Everyday it’s down. This never happened when I was with Relish. I would rather pay & just leave the contract now

  • Original_Damo Damo (@Original_Damo) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport my connection has been awful for 5 days now, can't access anything. With once again after each time i call they give me no time on how long it will be down for!!

  • rowandjack Jack Rowand (@rowandjack) reported

    @ThreeUK Hi. I am 1 week into a 5G home broadband contract. It has been basically unusable for the last 3 days. Can I get an explanation of what the problem is with the network please? Or I'll have to cancel in the cooling off period.

  • rowandjack Jack Rowand (@rowandjack) reported

    @ThreeUK @SignaLtd This is unbelievable. You could at least acknowledge on your website that there is a problem so people don't drive themselves crazy trying to fix things at home! It's DNS server issues I think.

  • Gstr2021 g.s.t.r 2021 (@Gstr2021) reported

    @jasjrkw @ThreeUKSupport It's down everywhere.. Abysmal poor network signal

  • jonprevans Jon Evans (@jonprevans) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport @MarkDavidParry Hi Three, do you, perhaps, think it would save you a lot of time to post the status of your network on your main webpage? Might save a lot of people time trying to fix it while you deal with it.

  • TheMixMasterMac Mac 🇬🇭 🇬🇧 (@TheMixMasterMac) reported

    @ThreeUK So, as a loyal customer I'm offered 3UK broadband. I get my 2 yr contact, cancel my ISP and now 30 days later. NO DATA FOR 4 DAYS!! Zero Communication & when I call told to wait a day. It's now day 5!! Truly unimpressive. Back to tethering from my phone. Thanks 3!! 😡

  • themassagelab The Massage Lab (@themassagelab) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport No WiFi for 2 days (evening & night) in London. Surprisingly happening at the same time as offering an early contract renewal and upgrade(!) Not receiving a customer service text or email or SM message to forewarn customers is poor practice. Shame.
