  • jibuku
    Nicola Hamblett (@jibuku) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUKSupport one of your stores forced a contract through on me without my permission before I’d signed anything and we’re really funny about cancelling it when I said I didn’t want to go through with it. Where can I make a formal complaint please?

    @ThreeUKSupport Huawei AI cube keeps losing signal. It's pain in the ass.

    @ThreeUKSupport Kirsty, I have neither three phone, nor a three home service. I have an iPad with a 200 MB/month SIM, and I would like to check the usage. With Wi-Fi disabled, mobile data enabled 192.168.0.1 just times out. You are apparently sending a text to my iPad, which cannot receive it

    @Rpearson081 @RangersBoy8877 @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport @SkyHelpTeam @WhatsApp I want to change providers as the signal is very poor to no signal at all and that is when am in the open. Can't do this until 2021 so Three better improve or provide a reduced bill for a service am not getting.

    @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport The reason 5th Generation (5G) technology is dangerous is because its signal is RF Radiation. There are hundreds of peer reviewed scientific studies linking RF Radiation to DNA damage and cancer (see Scientific Studies).

    @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport Have just spent the most hofficially infuriating few minutes of my life trying to string together a conversation with some absolute moron in your joke of a call centre. You guys must work tirelessly to attain such Herculean levels of abject service.

  • kevocateur
    Kevin (@kevocateur) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @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!

  • 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!

  • AdventureJak

    @ThreeUK the AI cube is rubbish keeps losing signal every day multiple times a day. I'm not paying for a service that isn't upto par.

  • fmcleanphoto
    Fiona McLean Photography (@fmcleanphoto) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUKSupport It was disappointing you gave no further reply after I showed it wasn’t the cache & offered zero help whatsoever. Fortunately I was able to find another way to get an add on that didn’t require logging in to the site. As I said, this is exactly the service I’ve come to expect.

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

  • 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 !!

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

    le_deej (@davidgrierson70) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUKSupport My number no longer seems to be registered on network and I can't access my account online as you're Experiencing Technical Difficulties. What's going on?

  • TheMichael84
    Michael (@TheMichael84) reported from Gorebridge, Scotland

    @ThreeUK do you have any plans to improve signal around Midlothian & Edinburgh? I get 1 bar max, and despite saying I have a 4G connection nothing loads. If nothing changes I'll be forced to change providers.

  • 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.

    @6BROWNIN @ThreeUK You should! Everyone kept telling me how bad they are but I haven’t had an issue until the time I actually needed their help with something important.. good luck!

  • KarlAustin
    Karl Austin (@KarlAustin) reported

    What is going on @VodafoneUK ? Ever since you bought @ThreeUK your network has been awful. An Edge signal in the middle of @LoveMeadowhall ?!! Frequent zero throughput, degraded signal strength *everywhere*. It's like going back in time 20 years!

  • LeeWilliams154

    @ThreeUKSupport is the network down at the moment? I can’t make or receive calls…

  • HjRobins
    Harriet (@HjRobins) reported

    I switched away from @ThreeUK because their customer service agent told me they have blazing fast 5G speeds of up to 100Mbps. I said that's awful. They said it's 100MB per second. I asked them to clarify. And they said it is 100 Mbps but I can pay £4 extra for high speeds. Awful.
