Hello. I'm one of the top five percent bandwidth consumers. Hell, I'm probably in the top one percent. If a mobile isp offers me unlimited capacity with tethering explicitly allowed that is what i expect to get. Whether it's 30 gig or 300.

If they make such a ridiculous offer and can't back it up with enough capacity to support it, it is not the user's fault. If three mobile had a decent mobile broadband solution in the first place i would use it (their mi-fi home solution tops out at a tawdry 5GB a month), so tethering on a phone contract is the only way to maintain a netflix habit.

As of yesterday my connection was reduced to 100 kbps download, about 15 kilobytes per second. This is of use to nobody. They have not as yet told anyone what the trigger level is on the traffic management so it cannot be avoided except by not using it for 7 days, then trying again.

Previous poster said that using 20 gig constitutes abuse. No, it constitutes using the product i paid for. I have money to spend, if they offered me 50 gig a month at a realistic price i would jump on it. But nobody does, instead three mobile cynically troll for business by selling an unlimited product they can't maintain. Then they start moving the goalposts and things go downhill from there.

My opinion is that unlimited communications products should be banned, as they always need exceptions, even the ones that claim not to. Plums to that.

My contract is a year old and predates traffic sense i found this http://consumers.ofcom.org.uk/2011/01/can-a-telecoms-provider-change-the-terms-of-your-contract/ so im cancelling my contract Three are meant to be ringing back in 24 hours to discuss it.

As this is a breach of our right as not only did they do it without notifying us they changed our contract for the worse.

and i used 10GB over 2 months so 5gb a month i hardly think that a lot.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hands0n:
What exactly did people think would happen when folk signed up to the plan and then kicked the crap out of it in terms of quantity of data consumed? There were some posting up on forums and Twitter that they'd used 40GB and much much more. This is completely disproportionate use of mobile data to anything recorded anywhere in the UK previously. It could result in only one thing, and that has now happened.

It may be that Three need to adjust their thresholds, and publish them also. Also, 100kbps is an extreme reaction to extreme usage. Two wrongs do not make a right. Throttling to the government-promoted UK minimum of 2Mbps would be fair on all counts.

Certainly the bad PR being generated as TrafficSense is being slowly discovered by impacted customers is doing Three no favours.

In terms of cancelling contracts, where do folk propose to go? There is no other mobile operator that offers tethered terms like Three's. Wouldn't that, then, be a matter of cutting off one's nose to spite one's face? An own goal otherwise? What is the win?

Just recorded a phone call to three about all you can eat it wasnt until i asked specifically about throttling that he told me he also claim that people using 200GB weren't being throttled.

that is just complete lies they wernt going to tell me and i certainly havnt used 200GB

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peterkin1010:
It certainly is abuse!

Whilst not wanting to pick a scrap with you 20GB+ per month download is not just abuse. Its an absolute piss-take!

In my last flat the communal Home BB was cut off and as a result I had to use my handset for BB. Even with massive use of tethering,streaming Spotify at 320kbs and watching BBC iPlayer and Youtube on a regular basis i couldn't go above 10GB in a month.

Whether you like it or not NO network on earth is going to be able to provide unlimited data 24/7/365.

Three have a tarrif in the One Plan which is UNMATCHED anywhere in the UK. Even T-Mobile couldn't sustain their much vaunted "The Full Monty" unlimited data plan for precisely this reason.

Surfing at home with data hungry apps like Youtube in HD really should be done via Home Broadband.

It is described as "all you can eat" data for the simple reason that during average use of your mobile-surfing,some streaming and You tube 95% of subscribers are unlikely to go much above 3-4GB a month.

The exception starts when a small minority become greedy, they start wanting to watch 'Youtube' in HD for hours on end, set their handsets up as a MiFi hotspot letting their mates log onto the net with their laptops to surf willy-nilly. This frame of mind is always the death of such offers. It reminds me of one2one (now T-Mobile) offering a 'Personal Call' tarrif back in 1993/4 offering free local calls after 7pm. Great idea for the majority but pulled because of a minority phoning up mates and family yakking for hours then passing the handset round to relatives to do the same. Needless to say one2one hadn't really anticipated the greed of some and had to pull the plug on the offer with new subscribers.The network was constantly being overloaded.

Which brings me onto my final point.

I have no sympathy with piss-takes of this nature at all. This sort of episode runs the risk of Three pulling AYCE data for good. You might feel hard done by having your data rate capped. I don't think you are. In fact you're lucky to get AYCE data at all.

Imagine trying to dine in a Chinese restaraunt when there are two or more people blocking your way and constantly stuffing their faces with spare ribs to the point you don't have time to ever get any. This was precisely what happened and the culprits got banned because of their greedy selfish behaviour.

Constant 24/7/365 demand for a data connection does exactly that and needs to stop-it is NOT fair on others!

The Rocky Mountains stretch more than 3,000 miles (4,830 km) from the northernmost part of British Columbia, in western Canada, to New Mexico, in the southwestern United States. Within the North American Cordillera, the Rockies are somewhat distinct from the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Cascade Range and Sierra Nevada which all lie further to the west.
