    @ICTman1076 @ThreeUK Was glad to be rid of Three, the worst performing network in my area for 3G/4G speeds. Would rate their 5G service, but there isn't one where I live in Edinburgh city centre. The fastest I ever got was 1.5Mb/s. A network built for 2003!

    Stephanie Ashford (@steph_ashford) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUKSupport I've also tried turning the phone off and on and switching to airplane mode and back. Having no issues across town at my work, so know it's not the phone.

    @ThreeUKSupport Nah, still not working - exact same problem

  • JonInEdinburgh
    Jon (@JonInEdinburgh) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @Nate_Brady @ThreeUKSupport Will do. It does seem to new customers who are having the same issue. I only joined on Thursday. I’ve uninstalled the app for now and will try downloading it again in a few days. I don’t have much faith it’ll work though!

  • Johnmhunt
    John M Hunt (@Johnmhunt) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @DMcGillivray2 @ThreeUK @Ofcom I had to threaten to report them to Ofcom Don as they guy was constantly asking me questions. He said he had never refused to give me the PAC code but just wasn’t getting round to it, demanding to know which phone, how much etc.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • mel_robbo
    Mel Robbo (@mel_robbo) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUKSupport not able to text from my phone or receive any. Is there an issue in EH6?

  • 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

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

    @ThreeUKSupport are there network issues in EH11 2NQ? My WiFi signal is so bad, it's not even registering on a speed test and it's greatly affecting me being able to work.

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

    @ThreeUKSupport There's no issue with the payment. I've been with you around 16 years and had zero issues using all you can eat data on my phone, since I downgraded my plan & got your mobile WiFi I've had nothing but problems with my connections.

  • shadlx
    Richard Williamson (@shadlx) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUKSupport Hmm. That sounds like a very standard excuse for the network behaviour I see pretty much 24:7 across the country - it suggests your network isn’t up to scratch

  • AdzKru82
    𝔸𝕕𝕒𝕞 𝕂𝕣𝕦𝕔𝕫𝕖𝕜 (@AdzKru82) reported from Eskbank, Scotland

    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

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

    @ThreeUKSupport is there any update on when the work in EH11 2NQ might be finished? Your unlimited mobile data home WiFi has an woefully inadequate signal at the best of times, but today it's dropping out every few mins & not even registering on a speed test. Not ideal when WFH!

  • AGDun_162
    Aldo (@AGDun_162) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUKSupport what is going on with your network AGAIN! Numerous times I have reported shoddy network speeds on your 4G Home Broadband . And I don't want to hear lame excuses about "Work Being Carried Out" when that simply isn't the case. EH6 area (Leith)

  • AGDun_162
    Aldo (@AGDun_162) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUK And coming from an Ex Staff Member for Channel Operations.. I know a duff signal and poor network when I see one. No amount of previous reporting has fixed it and I want out of my contact if it doesn't improve !!

  • StephMunroxx
    Steph Munro (@StephMunroxx) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUKSupport Not particularly, just seem to have poor service with both

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

    @ThreeUKSupport Huawei 4g router 3 Pro. There are no updates pending and I've restarted the machine (again!), but now I'm being told that there's no Internet connection over WiFi. This started yesterday and is causing me major problems with my work.

  • davidgrierson70
    le_deej (@davidgrierson70) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUKSupport Thanks for the reply. Managed to get some online chat support this morning and it turns out my number has been ported to another network. I don't know why.

  • Iwantmytrain
    John 🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@Iwantmytrain) reported

    When @ThreeUK split their bills so you now get a separate bill for airtime and the device, it became the biggest inconvenience for the customer. Convenient for Three, not their customers. TERRIBLE idea.

  • mattstannard
    Matt Stannard (@mattstannard) reported

    @ThreeUK - are there any outages in the Ipswich area? Zero 5G service on my phone, and as seems to be the norm across Suffolk the 4G service is flakier than snow. Does the hot weather prevent 4G/5G signals working as well?

  • mimiheart29
    nipplebuffet (@mimiheart29) reported

    @ThreeUK you have the worst customer service, I’m the phone with yall right now and the agent just left the call without any explanation??

  • jnafr

    @ThreeUKSupport @VodafoneUK B43 Birmingham dreadful service.

  • MrSteveBerman
    Ell💕 (@MrSteveBerman) reported

    @ThreeUK Your customer service team is actually so impolite it’s ridiculous. Train them better please

  • AtticAtac
    Nic Lloyd-Evans (@AtticAtac) reported

    @ThreeUK why will you not let me upgrade my phone. 5 times I have called and as soon as I say no upsell just the phone they hang up. Once is an accident twice is a coincidence 5 times is enemy action.

  • jimmysunny85
    jimmy (@jimmysunny85) reported

    @ThreeUK sold me a dodgey phone that now the battery swells and has basically become a bomb! I have told them this since August 2025 so nearly a year and they taking zero responsibility!! This is the customer service they provide as long as you pay them all is well!! Stay clear

    @Benleo If you think that they’re bad, you haven’t tried @ThreeUK. I sometimes wake at 4am and cannot use the internet, I think I’ve cracked it and then it starts to buffer again 🤬

  • JonHowick
    Jon Howick (@JonHowick) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport is your network down? Only got 1 bar or no signal this morning

  • BritainAnon
    BritainAnon (@BritainAnon) reported

    @ThreeUK and @VodafoneUK are you aware at how bad the 4G and 5G is in Luton, specifically the whole of the town centre? It’s not about “coverage” but the lack of speed and the completely congested network you both have. You’re making millions from this town, please upgrade it!
