Three UK (Global Outage)

Jack_Wilson2 · 27-10-2014, 17:48

Just so you're all aware Three UK 3G network has gone down.

JasonWatkins · 27-10-2014, 17:53

Wow .. that's pretty huge. It'll be very expensive for them if they don't get it back up and running again quickly.

ianlawn · 27-10-2014, 17:58

Where did you hear this?

SteveBax · 27-10-2014, 18:11

Mine is fine in the Glasgow area also, obviously not a "global outage".

moox · 27-10-2014, 18:18

Wow, I knew 3's coverage was good, I didn't know they had global coverage now.

Calls seem to work for me but I'm using a signal box

samtman · 27-10-2014, 18:21

Mine has been fine all day. Apart from op mooned seems to have gone down. Sure it wasn't your phone or mast near you.

Old Endeavour · 27-10-2014, 18:23

Working just fine down here in Folkestone!

This global outage seems very localised!

Jack_Wilson2 · 27-10-2014, 18:25

Everywhere near Yorkshire is down I've spoken to multiple people around the area
Experiencing the same issues.

I'm on hold to three UK atm been on hold for a hour and half and counting I'll update when I speak to them.

Jack_Wilson2 · 27-10-2014, 18:41

Three UK said there's being technical problems throughout the country although my area has being resolved.

markydeedrop · 27-10-2014, 18:48

Not had any problems in Manchester. Worked fine all day.

That's just a standard message they play on the CS service line.

Doesn't mean everyone is affected.

There is no nationwide outage.

plymouthbloke1974 · 27-10-2014, 18:58

Fine here too.

Jack_Wilson2 - if you knew there was an outage, why on earth did you clog up their already busy phone lines?

wavejockglw · 27-10-2014, 19:00

I asked a few 3 users in Glasgow today when I read this thread and none seemed to suffer any disruption.

There was no message posted on the IVR system.

This kinda proves it did go down ;-

There's being so many reports.

Also since EE has had problems it looks like a MBNL outage ;-

That's not a "global outage".

Also every network has these spikes every once in a while. Look at Vodafone's page and it shoots up every day pretty much.

We all know that Vodafones overall network is nothing compared to Three UK and EE. It's like comparing a bicycle to a super car.

That's not my point. And Vodafone's network isn't crap either.

What I'm trying to say is a spike in down detector doesn't mean there is a nationwide outage.

Don't be ridiculous...... yeah a network serving 19 million is a 'bicycle' and one serving 8 million is a 'super car'. For how long do you think that situation would last? Get real!
