At the end of my contract with my home broadband wanted to get the external hub but three won’t let me because my signal is good is there a way I can get this on contract if not I would just cancel ???

I am going through the exact same situation. I've had the indoor hub for 2yrs and it has been unstable. I have had an email from Three saying the local 5G mast is no longer available to them, so I want the outdoor hub. Customer service tell me the indoor signal is still good and there is no coverage for the outdoor hub... what is going on here?!

Hey @david6 

I'd be keen to help understand the reasons behind this.

Could you possibly send us a screenshot of the email you received regarding the local 5G mast no longer being available? 

Please ensure you blank out any personal information before sending.

Thanks, Jade

Not sure how to upload a pic here? But the text of the email is pasted below. Also I have a transcript of the live chat that told me I couldn't have it then could then dropped me (conversation ID: f8ed8e0e-8b52-4f3c-9f95-a6523c3ad6ba) can also send that to you if it helps. I have since been to a store and got a new contract with the outdoor hub and it works really amazingly (so far) hopefully continues to after the cooling off period. Email txt: Hello,

 

We're writing to let you know about some network changes that may impact you.

 

Due to a reason beyond our control, a mast in your area is no longer operational. As a result, you may experience a change in the 5G Home Broadband availability in your area. We're sorry for any impact that this is having to your service and for any inconvenience this has caused. As you have a 5G Home Broadband device, then this means that you'll still be able to access our 4G network, if that's what you choose to do, and our technical team are here to help with getting your device optimised to receive the best possible coverage in your home.

 

As the mast will no longer be in operation from the 6th January 2025, we understand that the service you may receive may be impacted. We hope it won't be, but if you are impacted, and would like to cancel your service, you can do so without incurring a cancellation charge, and we'll refund any billing charges that you've paid over the impacted period too. You just need to contact us by 5th February 2025 letting us know you'd like to cancel your plan. If we don't hear from you by then, we'll assume you are happy to continue your plan.

What do you need to do?For full details of ways to contact us, including Live Chat, go online

Hello. 

I'm glad to hear the outdoor hub is working well for you. As the changed to the network in your area have already happened (according to your email), I would hope that things continue to run the way they are going forwards. 

Pete.

Hello, Stefan. 

I don't think there's any specific requirements for getting an outdoor hub, as far as I know they can be chosen, since they are on offer through the website. You could try telling the support team you're having signal issues and would like the outdoor hub to improve that. 

Pete.
