    Ive not heard back from them I posted the letter on tue and posted it by reg post. should I have put my account number on it ?

    I'll ring them tomorrow too see if they got the letter

    Excellent, I was hoping as much but thought I'd double check! I actually emailed them a copy of the letter I sent, and as I didn't answer my phone when they rang (totally unintentional) they just confirmed it all by email which it seems is perfect :D Thanks!

    I tried to cancel my broadband contract(with the letter and everything),
    but they said I couldn't without paying the rest of my contract:eek:
    because there is no change for the National Broadband Scheme customers?
    Is this truth because I don't trust them!:mad:

    Yet 3's licence doesn't allow them to discrimate on basis of location/mast.

    So what happens if you sign up for 3 in an NBS area and use Modem in a non-NBS area?

    This is bang out of order, I only happened to glance at this post about the 15 gigabyte downgrade to 10 gigabyte on boards! a month after 3 apparently made this announcement.
    Surely they should have sent an email to every customer informing them in advance of this downgrade, it's disgraceful! I just upgraded my 3 broadband stick under the pretense that I was still getting 15 gigabyte downloads a month.

    Ok, I'm pissed, I onnly found out about this last night. Is is too late to send that registered letter or not?
    I want out of this horrible service, with internet dropping every 5 mins if it ever works. Worst thing is that I only found out about it last night

    Sorry for the double psot, I rang 1913 this morning nd got forwarded to the cancellation dept.
    They said to write a letter explaining why we're leaving, and to ring a number given on monday to confirm that they have received the letter and make sure the service has been cancelled.

    hang on a sec there, I just checked with a 3 outlet today, the guy said this new downgrade applys to people who've just started the 12 month contract from the 1 june 2010, I think after my twelve month contract is up though i'll be downgraded

    Then explain why current customers can get out of contract because the cap limits (and hence the terms of the contract) are changing ;)

    i cancelled my 3 contract with just a phone call, i got a confirmation letter from them a few days later and they also gave me 3pay broadband sim.

    I just looked at the three website and they seem to have moved the goalposts once again. Seems that the changes are applying to the monthly top up mobile broadband, and not the pay monthly/contract broadband.

    Am I just reading it wrong???

    http://www.three.ie/terms/customer_notification.htm

    Notice to 3 Broadband Customers - 28th April 2010
    3Pay Broadband Customers.

    From 8th June 2010, the data usage allowance associated with broadband monthly top up will change as follows:
    Current monthly data usage allowance New monthly data usage allowance
    10GB 7.5GB

    These changes to data usage allowance do not affect the monthly price for Pay Monthly or 3Pay Broadband.

    Yes the goalposts have been moved, now only "TOP UP" customers are affected.

    So if you have a contract there is no change and no longer any "Get out of Jail Free Card" - but it would have timed out tomorrow anyway even if they hadn't changed anything.

    Note also that was the second ammedment that 3 made to that page, the first one changed that date the changes commenced (1st June to 8th June afaik) and the second removed the cap change for contract customers.

    Its changed again....

    http://www.three.ie/terms/customer_notification.htm

    now says
    Notice to 3 Broadband Customers - 8th June 2010

    3's €19.99 per month broadband to remain at 15GB.

    Following additional research, 3 has decided to keep its current broadband price plan to €19.99 per month for 15GB. 3 will not be reducing the allowance to 10GB and all other terms and conditions remain the same. 3 plans to introduce a wider range of price plans to meet different customers' needs in the coming weeks so watch this space for more great value broadband from 3.

    So regarding the tread title, its too late now to get out of contract by this method and 3 have changed the cap for contract users back to what it was anyway.

    I sent a letter about three weeks ago and they said fine.
    They said they would send a confirmation letter - but no such letter has arrived.

    I wonder if they didn't process my termination could they now renege since the T&C have been restored?

    I'm the same, got a call back but no confirmation letter. I called yesterday and they confirmed the cancellation was still going to go through

    Can I just say thank you for helping me out cause you saved me paying 100 euro too cancel.

    also I went over my 1 gig my limit and they charged me 80 quid twice. I would like to buy you a pint.

    thanks mate for helping me out.

    It doesn't matter how often you tell their operators in India, or how often you write then, they won't cancel your contract. I even wrote to the CEO, awaiting a reply for more than a month now. Even escalating via COMREG they still haven't contacted me to confirm the contract is canceled!

    For a bit of light relief on the subject, Google "hitler gets 3 broadband" and click the Youtube link ;)
