It must be silly season for mobile phone networks. Three seems to be off and on when they feel like over the past day or so. Either that or my phone is knackered. Wasn't there similar problems with O2 not that long ago..?

Are they named 3 after the number of customers they have ?

Nope, it's the number of years they have left in business.

I know Mr Chip is taking the piss but there is a bit of network snobbery about, loads of people look at you like you're mad when you say you are on 3. I've been on the lot, vodafone, T-Mobile, orange, cellnet and I've never noticed a difference in the general standard of service. This is the first time 3 have been slightly unreliable.

Although saying that I wouldn't dare go on Tesco's network.

3 have the best Internet coverage and deals bar none. Fastest browsing and download speeds. Fact.

Mine was shite on Friday and shite again today can't make any calls only my 3G is working. It's only been this last week or so I've noticed how poor it's been getting although my friends t-mobile is just the same at the moment!

Alot of people diss 3 but it has some cracking deals and this is the first issue I have had, been a bit iffy last few days but not bad today

Wouldnt they be called "less than one" then, in the same way that Everything Everywhere is now known as Nothing Nowhere ?

Theres only 2 networks, Vodafone and O2, only puffs and lasses use the others. FACT !

Ahem....

There has been a problem with 3 in your area mate. My brother and his lass have had the same issues. They live just near you.
