Managed to get out of my final 3 contract last night as the data service is still not available. So I reported the data problems to them on 4th July as it had been ongoing for a few days. Each week I have been told it would be fixed in the next 7 days. Last night they told me it would be another 7 days, taking it into August. I told them that I didn't think it was fair for me to be bound by the terms of the contract when they could not give me a relaible date as to when I could expect the service to resume and threatened them with being reported to offcom. So they let me off the £100 they wanted to terminate early.

If they can't even get that right then cancelling appears a sensible decision...

The guy on the phone said all three call centres were based in India.

They set them up in the Philippines as that was cheaper...

Originally posted by cojak View PostActually, I've been having problems as well but thought it was either the mobi device itself (as it's pretty old and has been round the block a bit) or my latest maverick upgrade.
And since I've not looked around since I got it, I would imagine that 5gb for £15pm is not such a good deal anymore.
Time to look around I think.
I did a speed check on it last night and I was getting about 20mbps - obviously the speed depends on if you are in a 4g area or not

Last week I came across an allegation that a local ISP was managing to 'lose' complaints somehow or other.
For sure there will be a spreadsheet wielding PHB somewhere in the system who likes to get the complaints figures down 'cos his bonus depends on it.
Feeling cynical tonight...

Originally posted by BoredBloke View PostWhat annoyed me about this was the constant 'it will be fixed in a Maximum of 7 days'. They simply don't know what the word maximum means. I asked how they can keep using this phrase when we are on day 18 since I reported the fault and still its not working. Their 'technical specialist' response is sometimes the fault can be bigger than they thought and it could take longer......so not a maximum then!!

Originally posted by VectraMan View PostI ditched Three in disgust a couple of weeks ago. That was after several days of not being able to make or receive phone calls whilst at work (even standing outside). One of my colleagues had the same too, so it wasn't me / my phone. They don't have a 2G network, so if you don't get 3G you don't even get to use the phone, let alone data.
I was PAYG, and it was very cheap. Now on comparatively much more expensive Tesco PAYG, but at least it actually works.
