  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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 😐

  • 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.

  • 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.....

  • 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

  • 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 .

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

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

    @ThreeUK customer service is horrendous

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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..

  • 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.

  • jameseonline 🤔J🤷 (@jameseonline) reported

    Hey @ThreeUKSupport why is the internet connection in Cardiff so poor today?

  • naatti_moraes louca dos gato (@naatti_moraes) reported

    Funny, @ThreeUKSupport charged me £135 for my bill this month and I have no idea why and it says 'first payment' even though I've been with them for almost 9 months now and my 5G didn't even work and the 4G is horrible 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 thank you @ThreeUK

  • Coffee_Fueled coffeefueled (@Coffee_Fueled) reported

    @UK_Daniel_Card @ThreeUK The mindless agreement from people completely unaware of what he's claiming bothers me most. He has form for this sort of malicious attack on company's reputation. I enjoyed seeing @ThreeUK response suggesting they won't take it lying down. Yell if you need an expert witness.

  • sunfloweraura nicole ❀ (@sunfloweraura) reported

    hopefully it might say in my email im due later but maybe @ThreeUKSupport can help??

  • IngaRochelle INGA🐼✨ (@IngaRochelle) reported

    So my mum tried to cancel her SIM only contract with @ThreeUK and these lot told her she has to pay £300 or get a new phone... and then the guy had the nerve to ask her if she wants another phone with a contract. Madness.

  • violetdragon_92 VioletDragons Projects (@violetdragon_92) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport your network has routing issues. Full bars of 4G and DNS issues! Speed is terrible

  • 9vez_ V 🇵🇸 (@9vez_) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport sorry kymberlie you can’t help me i suggest you leave three too before they give you headache

  • AceBlaggard Paul 🇪🇺🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (@AceBlaggard) reported

    @Jim_AFCB @VodafoneUK Not dissimilar to @ThreeUK All good until it goes t**s up then it's the worst script driving experience you can imagine. Usually involving a better understanding of the issue than their first line response.

  • porscheuro john keller (@porscheuro) reported

    @ThreeUK @SamsungMobile both these companies customer services are the highlight of incompetence beyond belief

  • Graham_B23_ Graham (@Graham_B23_) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Getting intermittent signal dropouts 😡
