Three Ireland 5G

So i walked into to three store today, checked phone - no 5G indicator, despite enabled.

Asked guy is it enabled? if is, would it apply to my old fashion plan? What it takes to get it if does not apply

First he said something about need to resign new contract, some other bs, then said it will be activated from 1st Feb, then corrected himself it would apply to all and any type of account including mine old fashion 30d rolling.

Thanked and walked out.

On the way home reached for a phone to make a call - 5G on and connected. measured ~300/50

Go figure ...

checked at "home area" - available, speeds nothing impressive, 100/40

Lads sorry to be posting so much in this thread but I finally got this resolved with 3. The fella kept telling me my plan wasn't 5G compatible, when I pointed out the text received said 'all plans, all customers' he then tried to say the entire website is a "glitch" but if I switch to the new plan I can have 5G. Ironically it was him to told me a week ago that he'd make sure it was added within 24hrs! He said this is because they're promoting the 5G plan (??) but my plan still is not compatible. I said it was v misleading and wanted to chat to a higher up about it.

I pressed him and said either way I want to chat to a manager about how misleading this whole thing was. Then sure enough straight away after he asked "technical support....

Tl;dr if the agent gives ye a scéal about not being able to add 5G to the old keep your credit plan they're taking shíte and if you press them they'll add it. They're obviously being told to do what they can to get people to switch plans.

Happy days!

On the legacy keep your credit plan, getting 5g in Dublin City tonight. Speed test of 300mbps

Managed to get above 1000mbps for the first time at College Green

Hi. I have a 3 ireland bill pay sim and a 3 ireland pre-pay sim. I can get a 5g signal on the bill pay sim, but not on the pre-pay sim. From looking at their website their pre-pay offerings seem to include 5g. Do I need to activate something or upgrade to a new sim?

I had bought the Oppo A77 5G from the three website over the weekend.

I got it on prepay for €220. I had it delivered in the post yesterday. I was going to get it on billpay. However my passport has to be renewed to get on the billpay contract.

I was doing these speeds on the prepay plan via the speedtest app just before lunchtime today.

The speed is really impressive on the download side but not so much on the upload side.

These speeds were recorded about a mile away from the main street of Blackrock in Co. Dublin.

Not getting great speeds using my oppo router on 5g ,

Compared where I work I'm getting ,500mbs at least on my phone,at home the connection doesn't show 5g at all

Yes I do indeed, an oppo also. But I have the phone nearly a year before 5g magically appeared. I have noticed my battery not lasting as long, whether that's due to 5g or just deterioration who can say

3 is having an outage with their 5G broadband in Dublin at the moment. Their 4G connection via the router works perfectly with them for now.

Éir and Vodafone are having outage issues around the country within the past 24 hours.

Anything is possible sure but if it was a hack we would know about it. Too many involved that it wouldn’t get out.

Did everyone on legacy €20 keep credit plan get 5G added to account yet?

Chat said should get added before end march

Yeah have it since the new year

The data on my phone has gone down to 4G over the weekend. Has anyone else's 5G signal switched off on their phones because of an outage which occurred recently?

Afaik they don't, think they "reserve" the right to though. They used to have a 2TB limit but during covid it was removed and made unlimited.

What phone do you have?
