Anyone on Three? Their network is hideously slow today or is it just me?

V_R · 2 Feb 2016 at 14:26

I'm with Three, I've found it very slow at times recently, so much so I'm seriously considering jumping ship to EE.

I don't have a 6P, but I'm currently getting these speeds on an iPhone 6 in London

On 3 with a Moto X and getting 6.3 down and 1.5 up currently.

I'm on Three, and yes I did find it very slow over this past weekend. Today and yesterday was ok I found though. Browsing was smooth enough.

I'm on life mobile (switched from 3 this month) only 12 a month and uses EE and I'm getting much better speeds than I did with 3.
3gb data too

Do you find the coverage better too?

Seems kind of similar. But I've literally only been to work and home as I put sim in on Monday
(no 4g on life but then I don't need 4g, I always found it an annoyance flicking between 3 and 4g)

Fair enough

I need to get a PAYG EE SIM to test when I go mountain biking in remote areas. Three is pretty terrible for situations like those.

I had a one month pay as you go EE sim which I use for most of the month, for me the coverage and speeds were in another league compared to 3.

AndyCr15 · 3 Feb 2016 at 11:00

It's been a year and a half, but back then Three was pretty terrible for me around London (and didn't have 4G still) so I moved to EE. Have to give them credit, good coverage and great speeds.

For me EE's coverage is much better and more consistent than 3 (Buckinghamshire area)

Thanks guys. I've ordered a PAYG EE SIM to test with since my £15 OnePlan's days are numbered, and I want to jump ship before Three force me to.

I made the jump when three stopped doing the 15ppm unlimited data payg bolt on thing

Can't get on with the size of this phone which is a shame because it is so much smoother than my S6 was. Cpw won't let me return it being a sim free phone.

Left them 2 years ago, can't be happier. They just went too **** for me in London. I used too get 15mb+ everywhere and it went sub 1mb.

V_R · 4 Feb 2016 at 09:06

That seems to be the case, when i moved to them from VF two and a bit years ago they were great, but they've got steadily worse over time. Victim of their own success?

I wonder if now the unlimited plans are being phased out they will start getting faster again?
