  • 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!!

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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 !

  • 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

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

    @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

  • 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!!

  • 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 😡

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

    @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.

  • 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

  • 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.

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

    @omnitix @ThreeUK first 3G only network innit

  • 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.

  • matthewthowells hi i’m matthew (@matthewthowells) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport I don't usually have good experiences with customer support calls, but tonight's call was one of the best I've had. Finally, staff that I can clearly hear and understand. Unfortunately I am moving on from Three but your staff tonight were excellent. 👍

  • 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

    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

  • 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

  • MartynPreece79 Martyn Preece (@MartynPreece79) reported from Cardiff, Wales

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

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

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

  • 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

  • Craig_Sibbald Craig Sibbald (@Craig_Sibbald) reported

    @ThreeUK can you contact me regarding the shocking service I have had for 5 weeks. Dm open

  • Brothershift $𝖍𝖎𝖋𝖙 🛢 (@Brothershift) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Have you??? LL30 I dont think its anything to do with the area, just your network. Weekends and bank holidays are ridiculous. every time! Why cant you increase bandwidth in anticipation of high demand!? The only good time I get decent speeds in the dead of night... 2-3am.

  • WithRobsons Rolling with The Robsons (@WithRobsons) reported

    @caravanfamilyuk Keep considering. Would want Ee on @ThreeUK now and diabolical in comparison. Even in places where their map says has signal very poor.

  • bobstar1701 bobby (@bobstar1701) reported

    @ThreeUK I just want to say that you have to be the most garbage piss poor network known to man I’m dumb founded at how you offer 5g when your 4 is crap please don’t ask me to dm unless that is your network is gona miraculously gona improve

  • Brothershift $𝖍𝖎𝖋𝖙 🛢 (@Brothershift) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport I pay for 4G in my contract, but more n more Im finding myself having to switch to 3G to get any decent speeds, but with 3G, intermittent dropouts are 100% guarantee. Was thinking of paying for home broadband n get a 3 hub, but Im sure this still relies on th network being good.

  • hey5tephen Stephen (@hey5tephen) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport No problem, it’s 7PE - dunno what you can do short of putting up another mast but it is weird because my phone does apparently “have” 4G and signal here, just no data ever comes through! Been like this here for years

  • lj_here Jules (@lj_here) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport 3G is ok. Don’t know others on the same network.

  • AndrewsChamille Chamille Andrews (@AndrewsChamille) reported from Lennoxtown, Scotland

    @ThreeUK guaranteed a call confirming my pac today, still an hour and a half to go so fingers crossed it comes. Can’t wait to get back to Vodafone, a company whose customer service is by far superior. #ineedmyphone #NeverAgain

  • sabrinaleexo Sabrina Russello (@sabrinaleexo) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Hey Scott. Thanks for the quick response. I’ve noticed in Stoke Newington/Dalston (near where I live) I have 5 bars but no service lately. Also last night in Soho, no signal. And Kensington area is spotty at best - always saying I have signal though.
