    @ThreeUKSupport TA8 2SE, I bought MiFi with 30 day contract and the coverage in this area is awful. I will be cancelling and going with another provider.

    @ThreeUKSupport please could you confirm when the mast work is likely to be completed in the np20 5 area of Newport, your network checker states repairs have been taking place for a week and I have had very little or no coverage for the last week. Thanks

    @jgfoxy @O2 @ThreeUK Good choice! I love being with 3 and find my signal is much better than that on my work phone which is o2.

    @ThreeUKSupport Resolved in part.... but my written complaint received a letter simply asking me to call you.... to be told to reply in writing as they can’t deal with it over the phone....

    Adam Lee (@AdamLee2011) reported from Newport, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport how long are you customer service systems going to be down? 3 days now I have been trying to speak to somebody to cancel my contract and 3 days I’ve been told system is down. #three #network #shitcompany

    @samboc86 @hockey_laura @Apple @ThreeUK I hate change and I'm sure they bank on being being apprehensive about it. I'm never going back to them

  • ffion_sb

    @ThreeUK are lowkey the best network, just changed my contract and I’m paying £11 a month for all you can eat data, unlimited texts and calls 👀

    @ThreeUK hope network is working correctly now! Hit and miss since yesterday 🤔

  • 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.

  • elisemarylin
    éli (@elisemarylin) reported from Barry, Wales

    @ThreeUK i literally need my phone to study yet i can't because your phone lines are down, absolutely ridiculous. i will 100% be switching after this, thank God my contract is up.

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

    🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Stuart 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@welsh_stu) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport No improvement after a restart and I tried 3 different phones so I know it’s not my phone. The phone is on 3G most of the time anyway and it is around the same speed as 4G. The signal is absolutely terrible.

  • KrisheleG
    Krishele Guzman (@KrisheleG) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @dlever21 @ThreeUK My problem was they added a new condition this time that said if you haven't used it since January. but @ThreeUK ran the offer in May and I used it then. Guaranteed they caught LOADS of people out 😡

  • MK__C
    MK (@MK__C) reported from Barry, Wales

    Imagine waiting 30 odd minutes for the upgrades department to then be put to customer service who then says yeah upgrades is down at the moment @ThreeUK 🙃 Legit wasted my time

    @ThreeUK i keep losing signal on Barry Island, postcode CF62 5TQ. It’s stopping me tweeting 😭

  • 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

  • thisisjmx
    J∆MES VINCEΠT 🏳️‍🌈 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@thisisjmx) reported from Dinas Powys, Wales

    @tower_cell @ThreeUKSupport Yes they have. One corner of my village didn't have any signal. There's now low inside signal but at least it's something.

    So ****** off with the service from @ThreeUK (supposedly I can piggy back off @VodafoneUK masts?!) is there a problem calling landline numbers today? Mobile … fine, landlines ~ nothing … just silence?

  • onerealbeanie
    onerealbeanie (@onerealbeanie) reported

    @ThreeUK I live in County Durham. CS on 333 told me that there is a long standing issue in my area that Three can't fix due to "network limitations". Why do you sell services to County Durham residents when you refuse to fix issues, take ownership and provide explanations?

  • Keith5978673925
    Keith (@Keith5978673925) reported

    @ThreeUK When will you be fixing the tower in Aberdeen? It has been down for maintenance for seven weeks, and maximum download speeds of 2 Mbps simply do not work. The tower spends more time down for maintenance each year than it does actually providing a service.

  • Crocidolite11
    Crocidolite (@Crocidolite11) reported

    £15.96 before April now £18.26 from April and @ThreeUK can’t get their emails out quick enough to tell you of the price increase for a further year of the same ******* service. £27.60 more from one customer. That’s roughly £289 MILLION additional revenue just from the UK alone.

  • MiaxKempster
    mia (@MiaxKempster) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport customer support on live chat is shocking. SIM card didn’t arrive in the envelope, so contacted as it says on the envelope, and will not send a replacement due to “incurring the credit limit” I have said it didn’t arrive, so nobody should be spending any money!

  • CharlieIOD
    CharlieIoD (@CharlieIOD) reported

    @ThreeUK I have taken out a broadband contract with Three. I am not a Three mobile customer, so the digital assistant doesn't understand my question. How can I get to talk to a person?

  • durgut_arda1
    ARDA BATIKAN DURGUT (@durgut_arda1) reported

    I use @ThreeUK in London, but the internet is practically non-existent... The signal is zero, the speed is terrible. This experience is truly unacceptable in 2026. 🙃 Am I the only one experiencing this problem? @ThreeUKSupport

  • hatterscrypto
    Hatter (@hatterscrypto) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia I can raise you. Try dealing with @ThreeUK . But I agree Virgin media have massively gone downhill in the customer service department.

  • gh05tch4nt
    Ghostchant (@gh05tch4nt) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport We’ve had no internet at home all day. The network status on your site says you’re aware but working from home is impossible, currently. Do you have a timeframe? Stoke-on-Trent

    @torturedtoffee @ThreeUK There’s a reason why they are 15th out of 15 for customer satisfaction.
