A warning about THREE.IE

Kensei

They will tell you about "all you can eat" data, they will tell you going over your allowance is no problem unless you go high. All lies.

I upgraded my plan, and I was told it's 4 euro per gig. My router froze to death so I had to reset it, losing the data counter in the process. I synced it up with their website, so that I don't go over the allowance.

Turns out their website is inaccurate, so even though I had 15 gigs left on paper, in reality I went over the limit. No big deal, only 5 gigs over the limit right? Turns out, 1 GB costs 20 euros over the limit. TWENTY.

Once you're on the hook with them, they will bleed you dry any way they legally can. I was lied to twice. Imagine if I didn't get a gut feeling and checked, and ended up being 20 gigs over. That's 400 euros.

Again, be very careful with these con artists. They have good deals on paper, but they may cost you more in the long run. This is on a business plan by the way, so I can't imagine the price for personal plans.

I can't stress this enough, keep a very close eye on your data allowance, call them every 2 weeks just in case their website is out of sync. Otherwise they'll shave your balls. I recommend you stay away from them, period. I know I'm bailing the moment my contract runs out.

Fool on you to anyone who signs up to their bill pay tariffs when prepay is infinitely better ^_^

Everybody keeps telling me that PAYG better, but I remember calling them and the speeds they provide on that are garbage no? Plus, AFAIK this only works by tethering ur phone, I don't want to fry my battery in months.

You could get a Three Prepay Voice Sim - activate it on a phone top up by 20 euro and then put it in your three modem. Every month top up by 20 euro => unlimited data.

I never thought of that. Does it actually work? We would use well over our 60gb allowance if I didn't keep a constant check on it. I know it's all you can eat but if this works, would 80 or 90gb a month be abnormally high.

It works. That's why we suggest it.

Truly unlimited.
