Am I the only one having network problems since the merger?

[Oscarish75]

I've had nothing but problems since 3 announced they've completed the merger. Always had the best network coverage of all the family mobiles. But not anymore.  Problems making and receiving calls. Online apps not launching straight away or working at all. Restarting phone multiple times to get things to work? I've an S24 ultra.  Can't be too old a phone and automatic software updates. I know what the answer will be if I approach 3... nothing wrong.  Anyone else?

Merger has absolutely nothing to do with it. When it happens operationally, coverage should improve.

He's definitely not jumping on a bandwagon. Been with three 20 years almost and never had issues with network. The last few months however I'm encountering more and more dead spots where my call cuts out, apps crashing and generally no network or 1 bar at best.

5g which is the recommended network in my device is non existent so I'm using 4g primarily which as I said is 1 bar at best or nothing at all.

I'll give it another month then I'm.switching all the family over to O2 or another network.

Me too. Been with 3 almost 20 years. So many dead spots now since merger. Heading for O2!

Best of luck with that. My daughter is with O2 and wishes to heck she wasn’t. Bon voyage.

I’ve had no such issues and I too have been with Three for many years. If you want my opinion (you may not lol) the issues you’re experiencing are more to do with the 3G switch off rather than the merger. It no doubt creates capacity issues but that’s an opinion rather than a proven fact.
