Hi,
So after 90 mins 'chatting' to Three I got cut off! Charming!
My problem is I have NR5103E 5g router which used to give me 500mbs plus speeds. Suddenly the last three months or so I am getting 8mbs with it cutting out three to four times a day. I then I have to reboot. Rinse and repeat.
My chat with Three sort of got to the point where they will send me a new SIM (doubt that will do anything) and I asked for a new router. They said no as I didn't buy it from them. To which I said charge me then! I then got disconnected for some reason, 1 min timeout not obeyed probably. How can you spend 90 mins on a chat with these guys and get nowhere, always asking the same security questions within the same chat.
My mate along the road has exactly the same set up and gets a consistent 600mbs. Seriously, thinking of ditching Three. I have Virgin and only need Three as a back up. Can anyone advise before I cancel?
Thanks
Matt

Hey @Matt56,
I'm sorry to hear you've noticed a deterioration in speeds recently.
Have you checked out our Network Status Checker? Are there any reported issues or work going on in the area, at all?
Please let me know if there is any improvement once you've received the replacement SIM card.
Thanks,
Kate

The deterioration has been slow over many months. No reported issues on the checker. I'm not even sure if the guy at three has ordered me a new SIM. I guess it should arrive quickly if he did?
