Customer reviews
-
When I first got 3 mobile broadband I got consistent speeds of 1Mb I don't know what changed because now my signal is at between 0 to 200kbps. Whenever I try to download a file my signal stops. I can only assume that 3 is throttling my broadband for using peer networks. I'm on a pay-as-you-go broadband plan - I pay for my allowance and I expect to be able to use it.

It's rubbish, the connection is slower then dial-up, it disconnects, there is never a signal and customer service is awful.
I am tangled up in a 2 year contract paying money for an internet connection that works well once a month.

My wife and I are working in Italy. So we decided to get 3 broadband, the dealer promised that we have full receptionin Italy, this made our desicion easy. This was a big mistake as there's no reception where we are.
michael mueller (Letchworth exchange), 26 May 2008

Over two weeks I only averaged 400kbps from 3 Mobile even with a full strength signal and the speed frequently dropped to zero.
If you buy a dongle from any ISP my advice is to check the speed immediately so that you can return it if you're not satisfied.
Tony Braime, 29 April 2008

Absolutely rubbish, waste of money! Customer services are absolutely no help! DON'T GET THIS SERVICE!
paula waumsley (Grimsby exchange), 23 April 2008
-
I've had lots of problems with the service disconnecting/not being able to connect. Also, download speed varies considerably and it's never gone over 120 Kbps. I'm not impressed - not a happy customer.
Peter Burns, 21 April 2008

I am a Photographer and need a brodband service I can trust. I am in Scotland on a photography trip and the dongle doesn't work.
Broadband on the move is not a broadband anywhere. All I am getting is a white flashing light and a steady white light saying I am signed on when I am not.
Frank Middleton (Trowbridge exchange), 14 April 2008

3 broadband is a rip-off, I have had it for a month now and my first bill came in at £100. I'm disgusted with them and I can't cancel my contract.
clint stanners (Torquay exchange), 08 April 2008

I upgraded my 3 package on the 1st April and I haven't had one single problem. The connection and speed are fine. I would recommend 3 mobile I'm very happy with it.
Thank you 3 yippee.

3 broadband is disgusting, I've had nothing but trouble from day 1! I was put on the wrong broadband & still charged, bills aren't being taken from my bank properly! I'm always being charged too much! It constantly disconnects!!! Customer services never answer the phone, I'm on there for at least 40 minutes at a time and when I do get through I can't understand them! It feels like you can't get any help from 3 at all!
sarah wood (Castle Bromwich exchange), 29 March 2008

I signed up and received a dongle a few weeks ago, I set it up but have never been able 2 use it. I have phoned on many occasions just to get passed from pillar 2 post, HELP!!!!!
anita (Peterborough Central exchange), 23 March 2008

The service is very inconsistent. I live in Marble Arch and the connection and speeds are quite poor. I get timed-out frequently especially when the weather's bad and on Sundays when it's busy. I will not renew this service in 11 months time if it does not improve.
SC (Marylebone exchange), 21 March 2008
-
The service is terrible. I am keeping a diary of lost connections and poor performance so that I can terminate the agreement ASAP. It is mpossible to use between 19:00 and 22:00 regularly, and often poor at other times too. When it works it is fine. It just does not work at the right times for me! Avoid.
Spoonhunter (Hove exchange), 12 March 2008

This has been excellent for me - so much better than a poor dial-up connection.
freddie, 07 March 2008

I have had 3 broadband for a few weeks it was ok to start with but now I keep losing the connection. It's useless and I'm realy unhappy that I'm payin for something that I can not use. If it is not fixed soon I'm going to see what I can do to terminate my contract and get a refund on any moneys I've payed.
thomas lee (Blackburn exchange), 06 January 2008

This is rubbish - unless you're in a very strong signal area don't bother. Only had it a couple of weeks and I'm sick to death of losing the connection half way through whatever I'm doIng and having to wait for reconnection before I start all over again - fast Broadband? I don't think so. It's a complete pain. Unless you really need on the move internet access stick with a hard wired system.
Trevor Craddy (Leeds exchange), 18 December 2007

What more needs saying, broadband access pretty much anywhere you go, this little device has been excellent, I don't know how I coped without it now!
Neil Windsor, 26 October 2007

3 mobile broadband has been great for me. Broadband on the move without any fuss. when I moved house I had nothing to do! Awesome.

Company history
3 started life as Hutchinson 3G in 1990 and, at the time, it was one of only a handful of companies given the license to run third generation wireless services. These services used revolutionary technology which allowed for the transmission of polyphonic ring tones and photographs from mobile to mobile. Since then 3 has led the way in pioneering mobile technology and it introduced the first video mobile network in the UK in 2003.
The 3 network now has over 10 million customers and extends over 8 countries including Australia and Hong Kong, in the UK alone its customer base stands at 3.5 million.
3 has now branched out to mobile broadband, the newest telecommunication venture which unites broadband and mobile technologies to bring you broadband on your laptop anywhere that has mobile network coverage. So with 3’s 99% call coverage this is the broadband freedom you’ve been waiting for.
