The home broadband options available with Three are a fantastic alternative to those with a great 4G or 5G signal but struggle with a traditional broadband connection.
Three may be more known for being an award-winning member of the ‘big four’ mobile providers (along with O2, EE and Vodafone). But what you may not know is they also have an established and superb value broadband service.
Offering 4G and 5G home broadband as well as mobile broadband, Three is a good provider for customers looking for an alternative to standard home broadband that uses a landline.
Standard broadband requires a copper or fibre line to provide a connection. Three offers their connection via 4G or 5G (depending on your coverage), which can be better than ADSL and FTTC connections.
With Three’s 5G hub, you will get an average download speed of 150Mbps - that’s as good as most top standard broadband providers’ FTTP options.
These speeds will vary, mind you. That advertised 150Mbps speed is calculated on the average (median) 5G data throughput rate at peak hours daily.
The speeds you may experience will depend on the individual premise, meaning factors such as the positioning of the hub, proximity to the nearest telephone mast and even environment such as heavy tree coverage could affect your speed.
30 devices can be connected at any time with minimal dropoff in connection, making it perfect for busy households or those who want/need a strong and reliable connection even at peak times.
Three use their own mobile network, which puts them in exclusive company with EE, O2 and Vodafone for this offering.
This comes with the benefit of being able to control all aspects of the network and knowing exactly what they can offer.
They have 99% coverage in the UK for 4G and 60% for 5G, which makes it the nation's largest and fastest 5G provider.
4G and 5G broadband eliminates the need for an engineer to take care of installation. As it doesn’t require any cables, setting up the hub is as simple and easy as plugging it in.
This also gets rid of a setup fee or any kind of upfront cost on the packages listed above. And if you order before 8pm, you will get next working day delivery.
Three offers the choice of a rolling 1-month contract or a 24-month contract. This allows you to try out their service before committing, or simply ensuring you don’t get locked into something that isn’t quite right for your household.
Possibly best of all, the value of Three broadband is amazing for what they offer compared to that of their standard competitors.
Their 5G offering on a 1-month contract is offered at £24 per month, while the 24-month option’s standard price is £22 per month.
They also offer a 30-day money-back guarantee so you can try their service for one-month risk-free.
Note: Prices are subject to change during contract.
