I love Three, they haven't done wrong by me yet.

You just have to keep an eye on them, otherwise they a complete let down when things go wrong.

Make sure your insurance is up to date ( They don't update your policy as standard)
Don't bother calling customer service just update everything online ( The Indian call centre is actually better than the Irish one, The Irish lads have hung up on me, dumped me on other extensions)

Three will screw given any chance, They have no care in the world for their customers, but have a low price.

Their customer service might be a PITA but you cannot complain about their unlimited 4G bundle for €20 per month

But 'unlimited' I think in reality means 15GB, a very good allowance no doubt, but you are not allowed to tether etc I believe. For most people they probably would not come within an asses roar of 15GB a month for phone use only. You would need to use the phone as a hotspot to use that kind of allowance.

You're not allowed to tether, but unless your phone has tethering disabled then there's nothing to stop you doing it . Even if you do tether, with wifi in so many places including homes you'd really want to be a heavy user to use 15GB.

Their out of package data charges are scandalous, but you can use 3 credit on the google play store, and one of those services for buying xbox credit or xbox live, so unless you need lots of credit, just dont let it build up

They're essentially the Ryanair of the Telecoms. Not a bad thing.

As for customer care, my experience on the commercial interaction forums here on boards have been much better with 3 than with Vodafone

So does this mean that come December (Though they'll probably extend it again) that you will have to pay for 4G but you'll still get the usual deal of all you can eat data if it's 3G you're using?

Yeah, doubt they'll make any packages worse going into the competitive xmas market

It's offers like this that make me curse that I have about a year left with Vodafone.

Ugh.

Living in the city my coverage has been pretty mediocre tbh. On 3G still however.

What about people on the the sim only plans, will they keep the free 4g? Had a look at the site but didn't see anything

I was wondering about this as well, I'm on sim only rolling monthly bill plan. Anyone?

I got a phone call 5mins ago to tell me tethering is Illegal... When pushed The guy said it's in the terms and conditions and they reserve the right to suspend service "should the find out about me tethering"

Three a shower of C***'s but they have cheap prices, treat them like they treat you and you'll be fine.

Did you tell them you are tethering? If so you are foolish. I tether all the time and have never had any repercussions. As long as you aren't tethering stupid amounts of data you won't have a problem.

From the 3 interaction forum here on boards by an official rep:

Great news! Our free 4G offer has been extended.

4G is still available to all our customers, for free, until November 30th 2014.

For info on all things 4G check out our website here.

Apart from realising there's no point watching a blu-ray rip on a 5 inch screen.

Depends on the screen resolution. There is a big difference in quality between a dvdrip and a 1080p bluray rip on my note 3.

I can cast it to my Chromecast or use an MHL cable in my TV or transfer it to a memory stick or computer? It's no different at all to downloading it on a computer

This too. You can really notice a difference on the note 3 between the resolutions.

Great offer by Three. They can hardly start charging people for it though in December after giving people almost a year free can they ?

Fairly unlikely. Just marketing I'd say. Have a limited time offer to entice customers in, extend it, then repeat. Not to mention that nobody is going to pay an €5 per month for a marginal speed increase.

They've been extending their AYCE data offer every time it nears the "offer valid until..." date for years now. They know they'd lose tons of customers if they ever did let it expire.

At times I've been tempted to switch to Vodafone. I've been with Three since they started here but I'm always losing my 3G/4G signal. It's perfect in the city but when living out in the country they seem to be crap; people I know on Vodafone have no problem getting 3G whereas I'm forever getting GPRS or else nothing at all.

Now that they've bought O2 those problems will become a thing of the past
