    @comer_georgina @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport It’s Facebook and Instagram that are down just now. Only showing partial feeds. Doing the same on wifi here.

    Anyone else on @ThreeUKSupport got No Service?! I’m in Edinburgh EH11. #ThreeUKdown

  • CraigEdward_
    Craig Edward (@CraigEdward_) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUKSupport It’s been the entire week. Even on 3G it’s very patchy and doesn’t really work despite there apparently being signal. When I load WhatsApp it can take up to 10-15 mins to connect. This is my work postcode. It’s the Scottish Government’s Victoria Quay building.

  • MTraill
    Michael Traill (@MTraill) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUKSupport Has not resolved the issue

    Paul Forsyth (@paulforsyth7867) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @Rpearson081 @RangersBoy8877 @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport Three are shocking and have a terrible signal coverage. I had to make a 999 call three times only to be cut off each time as no signal. Thankfully someone else called for the ambulance and the heart attack patient survived.

    Stephanie Ashford (@steph_ashford) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUKSupport It's not my phone, it's the WiFi. I've rebooted the router multiple times this morning & if I'm lucky I'll connect for 20-30mins, then it's gone again. This god awful home WiFi is the worst thing I've ever experienced and will be why I leave you when my contract is up.

  • Rawssy
    Ross (@Rawssy) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Really starting to piss me off how bad @ThreeUK ‘s signal is... I’m in central Edinburgh I have 1 bar of 4g and it takes 20-30 seconds to load 1 picture...... IN THE CENTRE OF TOWN

  • DX_1

    @ThreeUK @metwhine aye, maybe quit being sarcastic on twitter for a while and actually respond to customers having issues. idiots.

  • frvic93
    frvic93 (@frvic93) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUKSupport Thank you, but it's OK, I don't really need to use it at home. Just wanted to make you aware the network is struggling around these parts

  • KyleSlorance
    Kyle Slorance (@KyleSlorance) reported from Musselburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUKSupport The signal hasn’t been great since Thursday morning and 3G isn’t much better due to the Mifi hub being indoors

  • DavidBourne1978
    David Bourne (@DavidBourne1978) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUKSupport Nope not yet as work is an issue. Best after 7pm tonight

  • AlexLamond1
    Alex (@AlexLamond1) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    In other words, we’re in for a long one. Having to do a Zoom call this morning on the ropey @ThreeUK 4G network was not fun...

  • itskatherinealy
    Katherine Aly (@itskatherinealy) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Not that you didn’t know, but I gotta say absolutely awful customer service @ThreeUK - advisors hanging up, playing music while chatting to their pals instead of replying to you on the phone, miscommunication between departments.. looking for a new provider now! #badservice

  • photomadmichael
    Michael Higgins (@photomadmichael) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUKSupport any known issues in Edinburgh at the moment? As I can’t make calls 😬

  • ninjascotsman
    Winston Smith (@ninjascotsman) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUK You can't even deliver 4g in Edinburgh city centre £20 a month can't even get signal to make call

  • paulforsyth7867
    Paul Forsyth (@paulforsyth7867) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @Rpearson081 @CEOemail @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK @Three_Is_Broken @EE @giffgaff As soon as my contract is up with Three, I'm moving to another service provider. Only get poor service and coverage from Three and has got worse recently. Not wasting money any longer on this appalling company who provide you with nothing.

    Never been more happy about having a dual SIM phone, o2 I dunno what's going on with your wifi but its shocking in these parts, THREE you've not been much better. But you're working now. @ThreeUK @O2

  • shadlx

    @ThreeUKSupport @AndrewCruzeUK As can how rubbish your network provider is

  • steph_ashford
    Stephanie Ashford (@steph_ashford) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUKSupport Hello. I have an ongoing router issue & spoken with someone on the phone, who's running tests & getting back to me next week. Now I'm getting an APN connection error, have zero WiFi in EH11 2NQ & the system thinks I've not paid my bill, which was taken on 2 Nov.

  • john_rafa
    Joao R. Carraro (@john_rafa) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUKSupport Since I've moved to Edinburgh last December. At home even though the signal strength is between 50% - 75% I never got a decent speed. I've opened many requests for the technical support to check that but nothing changed so far.

    @TheBetterStuart @ThreeUK I'm on @iD_Mobile_UK which uses 3 and the signal is appalling everywhere. I won't be renewing when my contract ends next year.

  • ZanwarSwapnil
    Swapnil Zanwar (@ZanwarSwapnil) reported

    @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport Home broadband internet services are getting down frequently in last few weeks. The customer support says some work is going on and surprisingly Internet from mobile sim of three works seamlessly fine

  • IamSamuelOO
    אדֶגְבּוֹיֶגָה (@IamSamuelOO) reported

    Hello @Vodacom I am porting to you from @ThreeUK. 5years of loyalty to @ThreeUK yet I cannot use their network to maintain a telephone conversation that will last for 3minutes, so disgusting!

  • HavocAgain
    Alex Havoc (@HavocAgain) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport I'm too fed up to complain. I just want to know why the service is so poor in Worcester and WHEN it will be retsored to something like normal? @tomcollinsworcs Please can someone from @ThreeUKSupport reply ... pretty please???

  • JadeThinksALot
    🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🍉 Jade 🇵🇸 (@JadeThinksALot) reported

    @ThreeUK won’t be keeping me as a customer. Reception is crap and the Nero coffee was the one redeemer. Now it’s £2 and can only claim within the hour, if you wait too long all the codes are gone. Useless.
