Hi, just wondering if Three mobile signal has improved in the area over last six months? Left them last year due to poor reception.

Nope, it's absolutely dreadful. Can't make/receive a call in my own house in Corballis and 1-bar signal comes in and out. Planning to return to Vodafone as soon as contract is up.

Three's coverage in Carr's Mill/Somerton is dreadful. Calls have to be made/taken out in the garden.
I think the coverage is coming over the estuary from Lusk!!

Crap in Beverton also, I have to stand in one corner of the house and if you move an inch the call drops.
Just wondering - is anyone complaining to Three or are we just complaining to each other??( just like to note I have not complained to Three either :roll: )

I second that. Phone is dead inside the house in Beverton. Any call goes directly to voicemail. Kinda works in upstairs bathroom...sometimes.

Yeah, the reason I left them was the poor signal in the area. It was very good in 2014. But when they took over O2, the service steadily went downhill. Looks like they switched off the Three mast and switched everything over to the O2 mast. Think I'll be staying with Meteor for the foreseeable future.

No issues with it in The Strand, even the 3G is very good. I'd say its because we're on a hill and the proper signal meant for the rich people in Malahide wafts over the wall.

In Beverton we are in between two base stations and signal jumps between both. You will see it driving down Turvey where you lose signal on calls and they drop.

It's hit or miss in Somerton/Carr's Mill. Most spots in the house are okay, but there are a few blackout spots with little to no reception.
