    Gary Corr (@GaryCorr) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @GaryStewart07 @EE @ThreeUK I know I never had an issue until I needed my sim only to work in America and they couldn’t offer, so here I am at three! But they are awfulllll and slow 🙈

  • avalard
    Robert J.E. Simpson (@avalard) reported from Newtownards, Northern Ireland

    I used to find @ThreeUK excellent, but they did away with free roaming, are less than transparent, and can't even match deals found via other vendors for phones and Sims on their network. If things improve I may return, but I think our time together has just ended.

    @ThreeUKSupport Every time I speak to someone at Three either on the phone or echat they insist there's no problem and refuse to escalate it. They keep telling me it's my hub but it's the same issue using the sim in a different device & I'm guaranteed to speak to at least 5 different people!🤬

    @ThreeUKSupport I received a text on 16th August saying you were doing work in my area, is this still ongoing? Network speeds have been absolutely terrible in BT14 for the past month, at least

    Peter Clarke (@PedroClarke1) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @Gabeuk @ThreeUK Fair. While I agree that some of the 5G Monopole designs are egregious for certain street scenes, I have trouble devising something better with massively compromising on capability. Although there is an argument that more of less could work better...

  • bertskill

    @ThreeUK is there a broadband problem in BT161GA area. Internet not working??

    JJF (@jjf2906) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @ThreeUKSupport Cool. It does but most apps won't load on 3g. 4g does work most of the time, but it just randomly drops out or says there's signal but it's hollow 😅

  • Tomasfleming67

    Breaking News @ThreeUK @VodafoneUK @SMARTYMobileUK Currently there is a scam going on for upgrading your account to 5G because of signal issues! These 3 companies of HUTCHINSON 3G don’t care about its customers in fact they have sold their database with every ones numbers on

    Is it just me or has @VodafoneUK network got worst since they merge with @ThreeUK still no support for RCS on iPhones but most upcoming 3rd party networks have support???

  • Legmo_2
    Legmo2 (@Legmo_2) reported

    @ThreeUK - Hello! Ever since Vodafone and Three have merged my signal at home went from 250-300mbps download to 3-4mbps. It only goes back up when I turn my phone to airplane mode on for a few minutes and then back off. Any help would be much appreciated!
