  • thisisjmx James Vincent 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@thisisjmx) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    So 2 weeks ago there was a 4G issue in my village with speeds in kbps range. It's been better but last few days now fine 50-70 Down, around 18 Up. @ThreeUKSupport It's not easy when living a completely mobile network operator life. No home fixed ISP. 1/2

  • Dariogutier Darío Gutier (@Dariogutier) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport Is the same whit whatever I do. Every area I’m going specially when is crowded around me. I have changed SIM cards, phone and the problem is still here

  • christianfclark Christian Clark (@christianfclark) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport Have been with @ThreeUK for years and always been very happy with service. However since renewing to a 24 month contract and 5G getting turned on, my service has been absolutely terrible. Terrible or no 3G/4G, calls cutting out or failing. 1/2

  • AnnaB_Cdf Anna Brzezinska (@AnnaB_Cdf) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Just came back from North Wales and thanks god I have a sat nav & sos button in my @MercedesBenz as otherwise my journey in the morning would involve searching for an actual road map since @ThreeUK was down, so no service nor data during 4h journey from Cardiff 👎😑🙄 #threedown

  • peterkin1010 Peter MacCabe (@peterkin1010) reported from Barry, Wales

    @DJAshBash @ThreeUKSupport I'm a Three user and have had experience of both good and bad network in and around the Cardiff area. What Three are stating is true but it's taking longer than they planned originally. Three have the largest 5G bandwidth allocation of all the UK networks plus they also have..

  • MisCatD Cat 🖤 (@MisCatD) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUK customer service is horrendous

  • peterkin1010 Peter MacCabe (@peterkin1010) reported from Barry, Wales

    @DJAshBash @ThreeUKSupport ..a new chunk of 4G 1500mHz aka Ban.d 32. When they're actually commissioned the Three network has huge potential to deal with all these issues virtually overnight. Sadly they don't communicate the cause and ther solutions very well hence disappointed customers.

  • TheMMEvent Mike Anthony Moreno (@TheMMEvent) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Another day where @ThreeUK fails to provide decent phone service. I’ve got full signal but yet my services is so slow. #whatamipayingfor

  • peterkin1010 Peter MacCabe (@peterkin1010) reported from Barry, Wales

    @DJAshBash @ThreeUKSupport @VodafoneUK @ThreeUK I am also on Vodafone. And I would agree they now have overall a formidable network But they have less bandwith 5G than Three..50mHz as opposed to 140mHz so when Three eventually launch 5G 5G it'll be interesting how it all pans out.

  • x_Gabrielle_x Gabrielle Jenkins (@x_Gabrielle_x) reported from Newport, Wales

    On hold to @ThreeUK possibly the worst phone company i’ve ever encountered in my whole life

  • x_Gabrielle_x Gabrielle Jenkins (@x_Gabrielle_x) reported from Newport, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport Worst company i’vr ever encountered

  • peterkin1010 Peter MacCabe (@peterkin1010) reported from Barry, Wales

    @DanielIqbal1999 @ThreeUK That should not happen. If the Three signal fails a 999 call should automatically be routed through any alternative network .

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

    @NathanWyburnArt @Apple I’m having a similar issue and @ThreeUK won’t do anything about it. They told me to download some app which won’t help anyway as it’s unknown caller. I think next step is I’ll be forced to change my number 😐

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

    @RIKZ200 @EE @jay_smithy_13 @ThreeUK I couldn't agree more. 3's coverage is the worst of them all. Duped by their lying 'coverage' map. Can't even get a signal in my house. Roll on moving back to #EE

  • x_Gabrielle_x Gabrielle Jenkins (@x_Gabrielle_x) reported from Newport, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport Worst company i’ve ever encountered. No wonder why your basically failing as a company

  • Dariogutier Darío Gutier (@Dariogutier) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport Yeah and the problem was still there, my phone was changed because apparently was the phone and the problem is still here! It’s been 2 years contract in hell!! I can’t wait to finish it

  • richieh Richie H  (@richieh) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport Haven't had any service at all since yesterday and still nothing, with a business to run.....

  • 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.

  • thisisjmx James Vincent 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@thisisjmx) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport Yeah there weren't any issues. Just no inside signal. There was definitely no 3G & no VoLTE either. Just thought I'd mention it. Mayb a consideration for future network upgrades.

  • christianfclark Christian Clark (@christianfclark) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport Yes I usually switch between when my 4G struggles. My calls have been dropping and not working properly too though in a variety of locations.

  • ApokalypzeUK Jayceon Wentworth (@ApokalypzeUK) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport 1st issue. On the detector site there seemed to be a large outage from around midnight, my 4g came back around 6am

  • Poetech3 Poe{t}ech (@Poetech3) reported from Bollington, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Understand. However, we do this dance, then someone rings me. I explain again. And ask to cancel the account. Again. As we were told - by you at point of sale - that we’re fine to use the hub for one month only. Which was all we needed. Threatening letters a new development : (

  • EastieOaks Darren (@EastieOaks) reported

    @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport Is there network issues? can't get no texts through.

  • JasSmiths Jason Smith (@JasSmiths) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Hi Guys, there’s an issue with the closest mast to ST14 5HF, every calls in that area has awful white noise on the call for the other party, any chance you could have a look into it for me?

  • gatecrasher63 Gatecrasher63 (@gatecrasher63) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Are there any issues in LS8 area, my signal dropped off a cliff, normally excellent, now on wifi calling and speed test is 1 up, 2 down??

  • YewHev Hev Yew Gotta Loight, Boy 🏆🎖️🏅 (@YewHev) reported from Tydd Saint Giles, England

    @ThreeUKSupport @AskPayPal Are there issues with text messages with either of you as not getting any of my two factor authentication messages at all.

  • miles527 Miles (@miles527) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport There’s always congestion at the Old Mill Road site, I’ve said repeatedly to Three for more base stations to spread the load. But that isn’t going to happen. Anyway I don’t believe it to be the base station causing the problem. I’m on Pay Monthly contract.

  • prodigalbum Capt Walrus (@prodigalbum) reported

    @linsbaumeister @ThreeUK When I had my problems with them - 2015 - they admitted to me that their call centre staff see customer account passwords, in full, in plaintext, on their screens. When I queried this with the Head of Security, he said, “How else can we check that you know the right password”…

  • DiLussoMenswear dilussoclothinguk (@DiLussoMenswear) reported

    @O2 can not believe how rubbish the network or reception is 5g is a myth NOT EVEN getting 4g calls cut out, customers service are talking from there bed!! Or at least it sounds like it ,unable to cancel unless I want to pay 1k lol Stay away @ThreeUK is 1million times better

  • paulmarnold Paul Arnold (@paulmarnold) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Was with EE before and never had any issues. Been using your 4G network via ID Mobile for 2 weeks and really not impressed with the coverage. Loads of call drop outs, robotic voice, non 4g etc... all in areas that state good coverage. OK to direct message?
