Reality

I want to use my smart phone for bbc iplayer and youtube when I get home from work. Unfortunately I can't without the fear of restrictions being applied...

Hold on.. doesn't that go exactly against the bolded text in there's advertising?
[Networking] Hands0n:
Almost, but no. The calculation of a top 5% user is based upon "whole network" statistics, not by the individual mast or cell. It is not recursive, otherwise we'd all get "traffic managed" eventually.
[Networking] mardon85:
Fair enough, this is the first time i've been top 5% in anything. I'm honored :D

[Networking] HarrowingLife:
Forgive me if this is extreamly stupid thinking on my part.

Three said only usage between 3PM-12AM counts towards you getting the throttle. The throttle is so significant that they're's no way you could have high usage again 7 days later, so the throttle gets lifted, only for it to be reapplied once you start enjoying the internet again?

I barely used anything between 3PM-12AM for over a week before this throttle hit, no way I'm in the Top 5%. I've been too busy playing "very light" use online games (World of Warcraft - 56Kbps constant, plus Radio Stream using 128Kbps constant)

Three refused to publish my comment on 3Blog, no big surprise.

Stop with the jokes, your likely to get hit by this Throttle too eventually. This is like a funeral in here. RIP All You Can Eat Data December 15th 2010-May 25th 2012
[Networking] Simon5451:
I can't believe how backward this top 5% policy is. This means that at all times 5% of three's customers will be effectively cut off ,so there is no way to comply with this as 5% of people will suffer regardless. They can't impose a set data limit as this would clearly go against their unlimited promise,however this method is far worse and whoever came up with it needs to be shot. I really can't see how they can get away with it when they stated there was no fair use policy,when in fact they have imposed the most restricted policy of all providers as the consumer has no idea how to avoid it. Has anyone had any luck speaking to three and getting them to admit their failings?
[Networking] tiddydiddler:
Hi Danny, nice to see you on here as well as twitter! :)

I've been stung by this - I fear the other two in the family have as well. I'm on the one plan, and let my OH and daughter tether to my phone most weeks. My average downloads vary - a minimum of 6gb per month, to a maximum of 20gb per month. For the last few days, I've been seeing under 100kbps in the afternoons and evenings, so I presume I've been whacked by Three.

My OH, however, is also experiencing the same problems, at the same times. Yet she's used just under 3gb in the last month.

I don't really understand why she'd be throttled. Me, possibly - though I don't think my usage has been excessive. But the one with 3gb worries me somewhat, as it's a very low figure to be throttled.

Three don't seem to be doing too well lately. First, they end up with a large backlash about the new charges for delivery reports, then they've all but removed retention deals. Now they're bumping prices up mid-contract(I've not yet been notified, though I suspect I will be), and now they're pedalling backwards on one of the major features of their services - are any of us really going to be confident enough with them to look at renewing a lengthy contract with them?

I think I may have been one of the first to get throttled; I tweeted 3 support on 22nd, but the speeds had been sluggish for a number of days before that.

[Networking] cirian75:
Strange that data count eh ?

Something is wrong ?

Get three to tell how much they say she used.
[Networking] Bottomless Pete:
As we pay the same as the other 95% (£25 per month) for All You Can Eat, why should we face speed restrictions. They cannot say we use too much, as it is all you can eat.

They should not have boasted about their network, and then forward the claim that some are using too much.

I would like you to view this blog entry on the official three blog. They had even challenged one user to download as much as he could, and even gave him a device to do so. He downloaded over 46GB. What sort of example does this set for Users?

Looks like I'll be selling my Kindle Fire to fund a new/2nd hand android phone :(
[Networking] HarrowingLife:
No one else realised that when Three say lower you data use between 3PM-12AM, they've forced this meaning your guaranteed to get your speed back after the 7 days, only to probably get put back into the 5% the very same day?

How my past usage this month puts me in the top 5% is pretty shocking tbh. I except the 5% to be people that are using Torrents 24/7. (Upstream usage would be very high all the time)
[Networking] cirian75:
guy I talked to said 00.01 to 14.59 does not count towards the 5%

---------- Post added at 01:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------

newp

Just some youtube, iPlayer and NetFlix, zero torrents or p2p 19.00 to 22.00 most nights, with 1/2 hours of WoW in the middle thats just over 56k in demand.
[Networking] HarrowingLife:
Exactly, so when I take that into account my 3PM-12AM usage is tiny as well! At least I'd never imagine being in the top 5%. 14.9GB between 3PM-12AM from 17th-24th, about 30GB on top of this once you include 12AM-3PM downloads.

Is this really heavy use? Between 3PM-12AM someone can upload way more than that in 2 days if they are a Torrent user.

Anyway, if only 3PM-12AM is included, at the dribble speed, there's no way you can still be in the 5% after (But a new group will be in 5%) giving you full speeds back for a while. I sure hope it means 7 days before you go back into 5%, otherwise they'll hit half of their customers in a 7 day period if its calculated daily.

ThreeUK want me to cancel, giving me no options. I need at least 40-50GB a month internet and would gladly pay them £100 a month for it @ 10Mbps 24/7. I live in the middle of no-where, no other options (Literally! Most networks are only 2G here, Vodaphone is £10 per GB at 3Mbps)
[Networking] cirian75:

its insane

Why did no one at three tell the person or persons this wont work.

[Networking] drachers:
Mobile providers must have decided that high-use products don't make their money back, otherwise there would already be a £70 heavy-use low-contention product. Maybe in a few years when more fibre is in the ground.

In the short term we must hope that the throttling gets raised to an amount capable of viewing one of those newfangled web-sites I hear so much about.

Three support can't say a thing against it, they probably have as little info as we do.

Still expecting a phone call from Three
[Networking] ahmadcentral:
5% of Three's network customers is around 350,000 people...

Seeing as a large proportion of Three customers have either non used sims/don't use data/payg customers/capped data customers. 350,000 is a lot of people.

Just to add to this- I at the moment have not been put on traffic sense. (ive used 20GB in the last 30 days)
[Networking] Chilledbud:
I'm slowly giving up.

I phoned CS and the man I got had no clue about all this, and denied that people have been told anything, even though I told him there's posts all over the internet about it.

I ended up politely ending the call.

Now I'm 50% through a fresh windows 7 install update and have 14min for 800mb that's left, so I am in fact screwed for a install today. :mad:
[Networking] HarrowingLife:
8 minutes until my Radio Stream will cut off marking the start of TrafficSense

Three are insisting that its not Throttling, point blank refusing to deal with it or compromise. If only it was hitting 20% of their users, then they'd have a protest outside their HQ (Conveniently right next to Maidenhead Train Station so you don't need directions if you want to visit them and complain in person)

Note: Speedtest.net is always 1 hour out on the time? :S

< Before 3PM

< Just gone 3PM

Online Radio Stream I was listening to died, it was only 96Kbps too.

Update: Radio Stream is coping! Latency is not sky-high. Throttle is in place, but seems to be matching what Three are saying finally and I'm able to load web pages!
[Networking] :
Very very bad, so glad i stayed with Orange and didn't switch to Three! Unlucky for those on Three though, not acceptable really.
[Networking] Hands0n:
Hi Rich,

Likewise sir :) To see you, nice.

I don't understand your experience at all, the Mrs in particular, as you say.

Have you tried the @ThreeUKSupport team, get an email off to them with that kind of detail and ask them to investigate. If they're all discrete SIMs, each with its own CLI then I can't see why TrafficSense would make an association across both/all of them. I even think that is too clever to expect of such technologies.

I even think your 20GB unlikely to place you in a national top 5% (given some of the numbers disclosed here and elsewhere that are 5-fold and higher!).

Hope the UK Support team can help you get to the bottom of your experience.
[Networking] HarrowingLife:
Baring in mind Danny that I'm under 20GB for the past 2 weeks between 3PM-12AM as well. Something is very wrong with this new system.
[Networking] blair287:
im no where near 20gb, whats going on i still get 0.02mb/s on my speed even though i regularly hit 10mb/s when not being throttled.
[Networking] mardon85:
I'm hoping it is a configuration error and it is rectified.

I don't like the "No Fair Usage Policies" but there is a "Traffic Management Policy", its the same thing!
[Networking] tiddydiddler:
I don't think I'm being throttled, but it the connection certainly goes lame beyond 3pm. Download speeds are variable, from under 100kbps to around 700kbps, peaking at 1mbps. Upload seems unaffected, at around 1-1.5mbps. Ping varies terribly - from 65ms to over 2 seconds.

My average monthly download varies - from 6gb to marginally over 20gb. I'm 9 days in with this billing cycle, and have used around 1.9gb.

OH isn't on my contract, so she's unlikely to be caught up by any limits on my account with under 3gb of use.

Started testing with Speedtest.net earlier today - since around 3pm, I've had 27 failures with "Network communication issues". Am currently holding at around 450kbps down and 1600kbps up.

Possibly I am being throttled, but don't feel the full effects until other people hop on the base station?

Bah, I don't pay for this. Even if I'm not being throttled, I'm livid that people are. Three can't post on their blog that they're fed up with everyone else using the term "unlimited" to mean something else, and that all-you-can-eat is really unlimited with no small print. I also remember posts on their blog regarding the reduction of termination charges - whilst they sneak in a new charge for delivery reports.

I can eat more date than this. I can certainly eat more reliability than this. I don't P2P or fileshare, nor stream TV(except for a little on iPlayer when I moved house). The bulk of my data use is from CM9 and kernel updates, and I grab them at 6am generally.
[Networking] HarrowingLife:
They are now following scripts only. The Human Feel to the Social Media Team's has gone up in smoke. :(

@harrowinglife TrafficSense is designed to give all users the best network possible, by making sure everybody gets fair access to our... PermaLink

@ThreeUK TrafficSense is designed to give users the worse network possible by giving unfair throttles to users that depend on Three for NET! PermaLink

I can load a web page, just about today. It needs to provide 512Kbps to be satisfactory. And they can not deny that its a throttle when this is the very definition of throttling. Its also exactly the same as a F.U.P, just a different name. (Note: Just like they don't say Unlimited, instead All-You-Can-Eat)

I think within a month, Three's own employee's will start getting angry unless they are exempt. Expect the next 5% group to be much larger too!

Hi guys ... Well up till now I've had all my Desire Z contacts on the 'Phone' account, and now want to move them to Gmail, so that I can then completely disable the 'Phone' account, and start using the 'Google' account, so that my contacts remain syncronised between Gmail and my Desire Z ..

Now I've managed to export a vCard file from my phone and have imported the contacts into Gmail .. Everything's fine .. The only problem is that contact photos have not been ported over .. :(

So how can I export contacts from my phone WITH the pictures as well ?

Or, alternatively, can someone tell me where on my phone filesystem does Android store contact pictures ? I can then bring them to my PC, and manually add them to Gmail contacts quickly ..

I've had this problem. I dont know exactly what fixed it but i made a backup folder of all the contents of my SD card on my computer, Erased it completely, then restored all the stuff i needed. I also Wiped Data, Wiped cache, and wiped davlik cache, then flashed a new ROM and it fixed it. the reason why i cleared my SD card was because my SD card was over using power i think and was killing my battery. Re-Seating the SD card also might help. :D
