    @RobBruceK @ThreeUK @O2 @EE @VodafoneUK No awful. Just spent 5 days with no data/calls due ti Insufficient bandwidth. My family and friends who were with O2/BT/Vodaphone had no problems. Worst ever. So regret leaving previous provider last month. Their coverage checker is inaccurate too

    @ThreeUK great if you have no issues, as soon as there’s a problem they give all the bull!! 👎👎👎

    @JohnDubyaUK @ThreeUK Yeah they’re all in such a rush to get 5G out, they just seem to have given up on trying to get 4G sorted out. At least show me I’ve got a crap signal, don’t pretend it’s all full speed and awesome.

  • MK__C

    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

  • ClareO74
    Clare Owen (@ClareO74) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUK Not great service! Look after your loyal customers #loyalcustomersmeannothing 😡

  • welsh_stu
    🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 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.

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

    @ThreeUKSupport They said wait a week and try again, and it’s still horrendously slow.

  • SueLidds
    Susanne Liddeatt (@SueLidds) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England

    @ThreeUKSupport This mornings ‘live chat’ seems to have solved the problem. I will wait to see if I no longer get two contract bills . I live in hope !

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

    @ThreeUKSupport Been through this, you won’t check as it’s a business account and the business team never follow up. 2 years ago Caerphilly had around 40mb down now it’s about 4mb down and no one there seems bothered.

  • TicketTattle
    Andrew Thomas (@TicketTattle) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @omnitix @ThreeUK first 3G only network innit

  • Bubwal
    Ade (@Bubwal) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Exactly the same problem I had with @ThreeUKSupport at #Glastonbury. No service unable to keep in contact with my family both onsite and off. Their coverage checker is false for the vale of avalon area! #ripoff #falseadvertising #threeuk #3

  • Bubwal
    Ade (@Bubwal) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @jaybee_ms Moved to them last month. Advise against it. Data service has been awful. Wish I'd never moved provider. Tried all the main providers and 3 is by far the worst #threeuk #crap

  • WildthingJ74
    Johnathan Williams (@WildthingJ74) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @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

  • SueLidds
    Susanne Liddeatt (@SueLidds) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England

    @ThreeUKSupport They have absolutely messed the whole thing up! I have no 4g, no phonecall facility and when I check the plan on the app I seem to have reverted to the old one. Each ‘chat’ tells me it will be ‘perfect and not to worry’ total nightmare! I’m paying for an invisible service

  • 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 😡

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

    Horrible T&Cs usage by @ThreeUK and #Wuntu on their Google Play offer. Tricked me into charging my bill instead of using the offer!!

  • gingio
    Shane (@gingio) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @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.

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

    @ThreeUKSupport This was in CF83 1XP and it’s been terribly slow for months now.

  • Bubwal
    Ade (@Bubwal) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport @StroopWafel13 Your service at Glastonbury was virtually non existence! No other providers had the issues 3 customers did at Glastonbury!!

  • jrdnphp
    jrdn 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@jrdnphp) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport This was yesterday mind! I have not tried that, but if I experience it again I’ll switch. I was with a couple of people on 3 who had full 4G signal but no connectivity so am pretty sure it’s not my device, if that helps any!! Thanks

    @ThreeUKSupport Are we any closer on fixing the call issue? my job relies on phone calls and I’ve had a day without them.

  • cerirwilliams

    @AneurinBevanUHB just a heads up that people on the @ThreeUK network will have and have had missed calls from you, and unable to hear voice messages as the voice network is down.

  • ColdJustice_
    Claire Hooton (@ColdJustice_) reported

    @ThreeUK Nope. Not this time! I’m off to another network. It’s a frequent issue since the merger now. Greed will come back to bite you @ThreeUK

  • Asklowey
    Anthony Rocca (@Asklowey) reported

    @ThreeUK please can you help me get off Three as your network seems to be rubbish. I need it for work and other things you have let me down so many times please contact me.
