Three, your tube WiFi is dogshit

1. So many times I’ve looked at my partner on the tube and she’s scrolling away happily while I’m sitting there twiddling my thumbs.
   That being said, paying 23 odd quid for unlimited everything is the balance.
   Pay peanuts get monkeys etc.

2. Works for me, all the tube wifis are actually the same, just different SSIDs on the access point they use for the different companies.

3. Even with EE they sometimes don’t connect, I don’t think it is a Three issue.

   They need to have 4G/5G coverage even in tube ASAP, they already have in Camden Town and nearby stations, now expand it!!!!

4. Three, you’re dogshit*

5. Yeah I agree the three wifi on the tube is terrible. The Virgin one was a lot better, even though that wasn’t amazing.

   Half the time it won’t connect and the other half it takes so long that we’re leaving the station and so it immediately disconnects. I also don’t understand why it won’t autoconnect when entering a station, I have to manually tell it to.

6. You can connect to others. I’m on O2 and use the EE wifi option. Just set the password to SIM. They’re all using the same physical wifi network so the service once connected should be the same.

   WiFi on the Tube has pretty much always sucked anyway regardless of network. Between work and personal phones i’ve been on O2, Three, and EE, and they’ve all had many times where they just decide not to work for a couple of weeks at a time and quite often just switching to one of the other Wifi networks on the list helps.

   4G will be on a large amont of the Tube(most of inner london central line and all of Elizabeth Line and parts of others) within a few months anyway so at that point i’ll never use the wifi again. Then by this time next year almost all the tube should have 4G hopefully.
