All Three One Plans to be cancelled from today

Any chance they will offer me a chance to cancel? My m7 is pretty much dead and looking to get a note 4.

Contract is up in April and have the option to early upgrade in Feb. They never mentioned this in store yesterday just said I can upgrade now for £160ish.
 
I'm on the one plan 12 month sim only plan - £15 a month. Minimum term ended in August...not had a text.

Steer well clear of Giff Gaff .. I have my son on that as it's easier to control and would deerly love to move him to Three, terrible data
 
Good news...been on the The One Plan for over 2 years now...no text....clearly I am not rinsing them as hard as some/most :)

Currently it's looking like GiffGaff have the 'best' plans in place to replace Three. £15/month for 5GB data all of which can be used for tethering or £18/month.. for unlimited data and no tethering at all.
Still a fair bit better than Three's pricing (hell, you can get an unlimited data sim for your phone and a 5GB data sim for a spare phone to use for tethering, and it'll still only be £5/month more expensive than Three's current offerings @ £28 for unlimited everything & 4GB tethering on monthly rolling!)

Are they any good for data these days?

Trouble is giffgaff are utter garbage. I finally ditched them yesterday after a trip to Reading, full 3G signal but no data connection. This happens nearly everywhere that has a higher population than 1. I get data at work but I'm right next to a mast, anywhere else and I get either unusable connections or none at all
 
When I was watching UFCs during nightshift on my windows tablet I was tethering around 70gig a month easy.

My "normal" days (tethering to a Nexus 7) I seem to be doing about 8gig, in closer look Play Newstand & Facebook do about 1.6gig a month each, throw in reading the Metro (1gig), Chrome (1gig) and that's me over the tethering limit.
 
still no text here either - my sim only one plan contract expired last month. guess it'll be coming as it seems rather unlikely their being nice to the people who havnt taken the pi$$ but punishing the ones who have.

I had the worst evening of data I think I've ever had with Three yesterday. Reasonable 3G/HSDPA/HSDPA+ signal (same as always, about 2 bars) but no data with intermittent spikes of up to 50-100KB/s lasting a second or so. Made web browsing a right pain, had to refresh each page at least twice as it timed out.
 
Hi All,

I invite you to take part in this simple 6 question poll regarding tethering usage & requirements in the light of the UK's only truly unlimited tethering plan coming to an end by 5th Jan 2015. Act now and who know's we may be able to secure a group deal? Its worth a try as there is nothing left to loose now!:eek:

This was inevitable, I'm surprised they allowed the high users to continue unchecked for so long. I bet less than 1 percent of their subscribers were responsible for 99% of bandwith use.

Downgraded mine to the 2gb/month £10 option at my contract end a few months ago. 3 data speeds (3g HSDPA, can't comment on 4g) & coverage are still far superior to all other providers ime.

The ironing board of that statement is that in actual fact people where not paying (enough) for unlimited data.

Your argument seems to hinge on the fact that because people payed for that service, they where entitled to 'unlimited' data. As it happens everyone actually agrees that they where, Three provided it, and contractually all has been fulfilled..

Some astute people have merely been pointing out that as it become popular and some people really went mad on their downloading, they where, whether they want to admit/understand it or not, sending it into demise which would be perfectly fine by most people right up until they complain about the loss of that service..

It's like a free buffet with no limits that becomes popular to the point people bring in shopping trolleys to offload as much as they can possibly carry.. Clearly they are 'entitled' to as much of the free buffet as they like, however the moment it is unsustainable by the company provided, it inevitably stops, and then you get a load of disgruntled, shopping trolly adourned people outside shouting how it's terrible and they where only taking what they where entitled to as if that company should be held to task over not loosing a ton of money and not realising they where in fact part responsible for it's termination.

Enough is what the company prices it at, from a consumer perspective.

I assume you're trying to claim my post was ironic, but there was literally nothing ironic about what I said, unless you don't understand what ironic actually means.

What argument is this?

Some astute people may have noticed the comment I responded to.

No it's not, because it's not free, there's no such thing as a free buffet, and buffet restaurants have stipulations that don't limit how much you can eat, but how much you can eat in a given period of time (by posing a time limit on your stay).

When you have to completely change the the situation to allow yourself to construct an argument around it, you should take a look at what it is that you're actually saying.
