3 (Three) mobile connection and internet service issues

Three does not currently have any warnings about loss of service or mobile internet data connection via the website's Network status checker.

But 3 (Three) has responded to several affected customers via Twitter describing "coverage issues".

The ThreeUKSupport account said: "We're aware of the coverage issues and these have been flagged as a priority to our team. We're currently working on getting this back up and ready for our customers."

 

It appears some 3 (Three) mobile customers lost 4G internet connection from Friday evening.

One Three customer said: "Is there some kind of outage with 3? My 4G on my phone seems to have gone down since Friday and 24 hours later is still down.

"The bars are showing but when I try to load YouTube, twitch Jr Twitter everything takes an age and images / thumbnails refuse to load."

Another report via Down Detector included: "I just lost whole 3 network".

One customer told Down Detector: "I lost connection with Three near Glasgow. Nothing works!"

Another said: "I have lost all connections with 3 here in Manchester, no 5G, 4G no hotspot or anything, it was working until around 07:30."

When will the 3 (Three) mobile network outage be fixed?
