Three mobile users given compensation update as network still hit by problems
Three Mobile customers across the UK experienced a massive outage with users unable to make phone calls for several hours as the network has issued a statement Three Mobile customers are on the warpath following a disastrous 14-hour network failure, spurring calls for compensation. On Wednesday, swathes of customers were left in the lurch, unable to make phone calls or send SMS text messages. The glitch wreaked havoc nationwide; countless individuals found themselves cut off from the world, and scores of doctor's surgeries which use the system spiralled into chaos as appointments were cancelled. Monitoring service Down Detector recorded ongoing problems with the Three network still this weekend. Via X Three said: "We're aware of an issue affecting voice services and are working hard to fix it. Data services are working normally. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused." Later, they added: "Following an issue earlier today, Voice and SMS services are now returning to near-normal levels. Data services continue to work normally and we're monitoring the network closely. We understand how disruptive this has been and sincerely apologise for today's inconvenience." Voice call attempts were met with frustrating error messages when they tried to connect to the network – a plight shared by users of associated networks such as ID Mobile. Amid the mayhem, disgruntled customers took to social media seeking reparations. One perturbed subscriber demanded: "Will customers be compensated for the loss of services?" while another implored: "What are we getting for the disruption?". One annoyed customer fumed: "I hope we all get compensated from you." Another asked: " 10 hour outage ..... any compensation ?" A third user added: "You forgot to add what are we getting for the disruption?". Three responded to the complaints, saying: " Hi there, we know how frustrating this outage has been, we're unable to confirm compensation, however our customer care team can check this for you here." Customers can claim compensation by contacting Three's customer support team via a provided link. However, unlike broadband and landline customers, mobile users are not automatically entitled to compensation under Ofcom's scheme, often leaving them without redress for service disruptions. Uswitch mobile expert S imrat Sharma sympathised with affected customers, stating: "Three's reported outages this week will be incredibly frustrating for customers - and it's understandable that many will be thinking about compensation. "Ofcom advises that compensation for mobile signal outages is 'dependent on the circumstances'. But in severe cases where repairs are significantly delayed, customers may be eligible for a refund or account credit," she explained. "If you've endured major inconvenience due to the outage, don't hesitate to approach your provider to request assistance." An Ofcom spokesperson has stated: "Anyone who has been affected by this outage should get in touch with Three directly, and if they are dissatisfied then they can consider logging a formal complaint." Down Detector reports indicate that the troubles began just past 08:00 BST, and complaints rocketed to more than 9,300 at their height. Voice call ability was cut off for a significant 79 per cent of those affected, while 17 per cent struggled to even obtain a phone signal. The turmoil also hit the ID Mobile and Smarty networks, both subsidiaries of Three UK, disrupting services there too.

National Armed Forces Week celebrations at Caldicot Castle
The castle played host to the closing of the week-long celebration Armed Forces Week, Wales, which highlighted all those involved in our armed forces – from serving personnel and reservists to veterans, cadets and service families. As well as showcasing the dedication and skill of the armed forces, the event shone a light on local cadets, and veterans and gave the public a chance to meet and thank those that have served – and those preparing to serve their country. Among the many attractions for the thousands in attendance were military displays, parades, vehicles and a strong showing from the blue light brigade, who showcased their skills and service. Gwent Police, South Wales Fire and Rescue and the Welsh Ambulance Service were all available to the public, with children especially enjoying sitting at the wheel of Caldicot's fire engine. Competing with the firemen for kids' attention, the South-East Wales branch of the Military Vehicle Trust, proudly showed off an array of vintage military vehicles and their tips and stories about how and why they maintain their mechanical veterans. Veterans Ron Bennett and Graham Blackford, both long-term RAF veterans, flew the flag for the Abergavenny and Caldicot Royal British Legion branches respectively. Graham said: 'The Legion is there for us all and talking and meeting helps us all. An event like this gives us a chance to celebrate the great work the Legion does.' Cadets Soliana Sium and Daniela Smith attended with Gwent and Powys Army Cadets. Solana said more young people should attend cadets to help others and themselves. She said of the day: 'It's great to be here and I have made so many friends and learned such a lot about people in the cadets.' Long-distance award for cadet dedication goes to Corporal Braby, of Gwent and Powys Army Cadets: 'I live in Redditch, near Birmingham, and belong to the local force here. "It's a family thing and not really a burden.'
