“3 usb dongle”
Written on: 15/05/2013
pro: with mac osX dongle connect as soon as is inserted. Cons: the data allowance is always wrong and you never know how you have left. I topped up 3Gb and after 6 minutes I had 1040 Mb left !! I went to the shop in Wood green but they do not accept any complain, you have to call a number or fill up a very long on line form which requires you to write ALL your personal details. Horrible experience (read more)

Written on: 26/03/2013
I have been using 3 Mobile for just over a year. The sim cards are cheap at around £11 for 3Gb over 3 months from Amazon. Don't top them up via 3 Mobile. It is too expensive. Throw them away and get new ones. 3 Mobile was great up to about 1-2 months ago. It was reasonably fast and reliable - and good value for money. Now it is very slow and often disconnects. There is always a strong signal where I am, but internet access just stops or slows down for long periods. I have another two sims... (read more)

Broadband is a tool to connectivity. 3G does not connect. I have had their broadband service since Sept 2012. I live in urban Dublin, and I have been onto their technical staff on 17 occasions to remedy non connectivity, so much so I can do their job at this stage. The staff are unfailing pleasant patient and polite but the system is RUBBISH. Am in process of cancelling contract and "service" if you could call it that.

“Not the best service and the customer service is terrible”
Written on: 24/02/2013
We bought 3-mobile internet dongles, each on a £15.99 one month rolling contract with 5mb download limit. We went for the one month contract as we only wanted the mobile internet to cover us until BT could be bothered to come around and connect our new house up. One of the dongles never seemed to work right, it gave terrible download speeds (couldn't even check email or browse sites like the BBC) and the connection would drop regularly. The other dongle was better as the connection... (read more)

I used to be able to "tether" my phone to my computer, useful when I could not get a Wi-Fi signal, although naturally speed was limited.. NOT ANY LONGER, however !! Even though they advertise their Network as "the one built for the internet",and offer "all you can eat data", I am SO disappointed that this facility has been stopped. Unless you are prepared to pay £25 a month for the "premium" tariff, then you can "say goodbye" to any meaningful "data usage" BUYER BEWARE! Compare... (read more)

I can see your point, but on the other hand, if you pay the £25 and get the One Plan, which is the plan with "All You Can Eat Data", you not only get tethering, but it is truly unlimited, so you can use it for mobile broadband, and even do away with a home phone by using Skype instead, on your desktop. I even use a Zoom wireless router connected to my iPhone 4S, that gives me good speeds all the time to three PCs. I hope this was of help!

I agree that anyone could get it for £25 a month. However I already have Virgin Boadband, and would only need to tether when away from a Wi-Fi. My main point was that Network 3 make it a principal point of their adveristing that they are the 'Network built for the internet', and that they offer "all you can eat data" - very misleading, don't you think? Friends tell me that they can still tether on other network plans where they have (e.g.) 500mb a month.

I really do see your point, Chriss. When you signed up, it seemed that your plan was truly unlimited for tethering, then they changed that. They even make it look like they still give it, by saying, "all you can eat data" without supplying the goods.

A few months ago, we had problems again including very slow connectivity or no connectivity at all. In the past, we had experienced similar problems with 3 whereby we spend a lot of time and money in lengthy calls with their customer services that actually did nothing to improve the problem.

3 are the worst company ever, 2 years of an ever worsening system, all they ever tell you is the mast will be upgraded soon when it'll be perfect and to just wait a few weeks, you wait then it works great for a few days then it's worse than it was before you complained, this has continued from the time I got it and now it doesn't work at all, even my 3 phone has lost it's signal here.

I used to have a fast mobile broadband on the promised 7.2mb package which was great. The problem now is, in the evenings I'm getting 100kbps to 300kbps and it's so slow you can't do anything. Whatever you do, don't get 3. They're not increasing bandwidth with demand. Customer services people are lovely but there's not a lot they can do so best avoided altogether. When you phone customer services they say that 400kbps is normal! Not when they're promising you 7.2mb. (read more)

3Mobile Broadband was easy to set up and use -though bad reception in most places. I estimate I couldn't get online 50% of the time.

Then I was told because I hadn't let them know before the 16th of the month I would have to pay for another month. Then I was told they need 30 days notice to cancel a contract (even if the contract has expired) and so would be charging me another month on top of that - in...

Well this could have been written by me! I have had exactly the same problems.

<br/>The provision of service is at best poor and at worst non-existant.

<br/>I have made numurous calls to 3's broadband helpdesk to experience the same as this reviewer.
<br/>
<br/>I have a broad west country accent and know I can be hard to understand, if you ask to speak to some-one else who may better understand you they simply cut you off. You then have to call back and start all over again.

<br/>We had 5 modems with 3 business and dropped the lot and moved to Vodafone. The service there has been great and we have have only had to call 3 times since changing, and then it's clearly been a problem of our own making.

In December my connection suddenly began to cut out, I was only connected for a matter of minutes and then had to try re-connect.
This went on for a few weeks and many calls to 3's customer service in Mumbai, even though they are very helpful it is sometimes difficult...

I'll give them 1 point for ease of install, other than that appalling speed, worse customer service.
The best thing about this 3 Mobile Broadband 5GB service by a mile is that i only have 1 month left out of the 18 i signed up for so i can cancel it in 2 weeks time !

Canook's Response to Scunnered168's Review
Written on: 03/01/2013
You're lucky you have any connection at all. I received an iPad mini for Christmas, with a nano-sim from Three to connect up to broadband. After setting up my direct debit details on 27th December, and ringing at 48-hour intervals to find out when it will be active, it still isn't, 6 days on. Technical issues apparently. Affecting a lot of people. Appalling service.
