Three down updates – Network hit with outage as hundreds of customers left without internet and sign...

I have managed to find this forum via Three's 'X' (formerly Twitter) feed.  The feed itself appears silent about any problems.  No mention of it on their support pages (https://www.three.co.uk/support/contact-us), their Facebook page says to contact them on the app or website, the app chat doesn't work, the website chat doesn't work, the '333' number doesn't work, the other contact numbers don't work either, the sales number doesn't work ... and I don't have data on my phone!  Didn't realise until I left a WiFi area and tried to stream something.

Down Detector (https://downdetector.co.uk/status/3/) is showing a large outage nudging 3000 complaints per hour.  And in all of this we are left shouting into the void, hoping that 3 isn't suffering a cyber attack or something, and in an information vacuum caused by nobody from 3 giving us an update.  What's going on???

We have had this issue before and a moderator did post but could not give details. Don't expect too much from 3 until the issue hits the news websites.

Don't forget the network status checker.

Coverage checker for my area: "Our systems haven't reported any network problems."  There is a generic message at the top of that page saying "We are aware of an issue with the network. Our engineers are working hard to fix it. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.", which is pretty generic and anodyne.  Would they even admit if they had had a cyber attack?

Just posted, similar issue. It started with text messages to my phone. Worryingly I have noticed that the dd on my account has altered so I have just contacted my bank

Please check the network status checker

The info you have given is insufficient to give further help. Is the issue phone or broadband related? If it's your phone is data turned on?
