    @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.

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

    @mythofechelon @TMobile Could be a @ThreeUK issue as their network was down overnight.

    Four webchats, 3 hours on hold and still not got through to @ThreeUK mobile broadband team... epic fail again with @ThreeUKSupport

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

    🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 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.

    MH 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 #yescymru (@cymboi) reported from Victoria, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport I raised a complaint, they asked to close it as it was dealt with, passed me on to another agent to finalise it and bang, back to square one as the issue wasn’t solved. Called again, the agent couldn’t see that the complaint and disconnected the call. I’m a long standing customer

    @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

  • 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.

    @ThreeUKSupport I’ve been on phone for an hour, and On live chat. It’s useless. Rubbish company and customer services is a joke

    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.

    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

    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

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

    @ThreeUKSupport Well I don't check it very often but around this time when I want to see my bills & usage it only works properly some times. No I've not talked to any other team. I've cleared cache thought that might help. [Apparently you've got a new system that is due to launch at some point!]

  • 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.

  • TweetterRoss
    Ross Maisey (@TweetterRoss) reported from Church Village, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport 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

    @fonehouse hi there, I’ve just upgraded my phone, I’m still on @ThreeUK and it says “Sim not supported”. Please can you help?

    @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

    @ThreeUK When will the tower in Ab11 be fixed? It’s been down for maintenance for 9 weeks now. 2MBPS download speeds just don’t cut it. Ask EE to borrow a competent engineer.

  • franchaela_x
    elle🤍 franchaela (@franchaela_x) reported

    @jamesma34307397 @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport I spoke to customer service and they kept trying to say it’s an issue with my phone and wouldn’t listen when I said other family members on three in the house are having the same problem.

  • 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

  • tsbains64

    @ThreeUK when are you going to do something about the signal in PL6 area you claim to have already done something about it since you merged with @vodafone but you haven't cuz I'm still getting the same crap signal my house is half mile away from nearest mast

  • jcopps80
    jcopps (@jcopps80) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport why is your signal in Manchester so so bad you have merged with Vodafone and it’s even worse than it was before … defo leaving you after this contract utter shite

  • 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.

    @ThreeUKSupport why am I paying for the worst Internet service I’ve ever had from you guys. This only happened since you joined Vodafone.
