It’s been down all morning, I had to suffer my bus commute to work in silence as I couldn’t get a Podcast/music to load.

Now at work and thankfully ok the WiFi Grin

So bloody annoying

Glad you posted this as I was wondering but too lazy to google! Thankfully the WiFi is propping me up and my work phone is Vodafone if I desperately need to make a call

Mine too! So annoying.

bellsbuss · 17/10/2019 10:15

It's back on now.

3 have been slowly updating their masts to 5G, so you may find that it stays down for up to 2 weeks.

Mine went off at 11pm last night and is still intermittent. Bloody frustrating because I’m WFH today and have had to dig out the landline to make calls. Such an effort Grin

Same. My WiFi is on and off but most annoyingly the baby is napping and I can't Netflix! Sad

sugarbum · 17/10/2019 11:39

oh that's what happened this morning! I was wondering why it wouldn't let me do banking.

Turn your phone to aeroplane mode and on again to reset, or off and on again.

We have been having problems for weeks.thinking of changing provider.

MeYouWye · 17/10/2019 12:40

Mine is working after turning off and on again. Good luck

slipperywhensparticus · 17/10/2019 12:42

Mine is back I've just had a phonecall

ActualHornist · 17/10/2019 13:10

Mine’s been back on for a couple of hours at least now. I did update my phone in that time period as well.

This is off topic but apart from this incident is 3 generally a network with a reliable signal in the UK and Europe? My contract ends at the beginning of November and I was thinking of going for a sim only deal with 3? Thanks

slipperywhensparticus · 17/10/2019 14:32

I've had no issues with three although on top of a mountain in wakes I couldn't get a signal and my daughter on ee could so?

Stickyuptail · 17/10/2019 15:58

slippery thanks. I’m with ee at the moment but they’re a bit pricy compared with 3. I think I’ll try 3 and hope for the best.

slipperywhensparticus · 17/10/2019 20:47

Like I said it's just that one spot on the way to my daughters university that I cant get a signal

Stickyuptail · 17/10/2019 22:03

It’s obviously the Bermuda Triangle of mobile signals up there. My DD lives in a flat part of Essex so I might be ok👍🏻
