One would almost be tempted to code a button that sends that email, or even ask permission to every user to send it for them automatically.
The problem here is not that Three are useless. It's that they are useless AND required to interfere. Behind that is a very social root cause: we pander to morons who think they should get to decide what other people can read/see/watch. The solution is that we, as a country, grow up and either supervise our own kids or actually pay someone else to.
But no boomer will buy that, they just keep crying until someone promises them a free lunch...
Question to UK people based on the responses I’m reading here. If I, a privacy loving person were ever to migrate to the UK is it possible to have a as private and unrestricted anonymous internet as much of the rest of the sane world? Both this and previous thread mentioned some really ridiculous things like lifting restrictions through credit card or drivers license.
Having used Three UK on and off for two decades, this support chat lines up exactly with how I remember– 'robot humans' that say any ol' tosh to finish the contact session.
Avoid Three.
FWIW: all UK consumer telecoms services seem to have horrendous contact experiences (Though Three, of the prominent handful of providers, tops the charts in my opinion), but I've used EE for the last few years, and it has been consistently solid and fast, and thus I thankfully haven't /needed/ to contact anybody there. I cannot say the same for Three.
The support chat transcript is so uncomfortable to read– the person on the other end 'at Three' (aka a contact centre on the other side of the world, contracted out at the lowest possible cost) might as well be a bot, but the chat reads as if the person at Tutanota genuinely thought that they were chatting to a logical coherent human.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
That is somewhat true, but seeing people on the train, browsing internet or watching YouTube just fine, when you can't load anything tell a different story. I even asked a few strangers what network they use and how come they have reception. This is the network I switched to eventually and indeed no more problems.
Yes, sometimes it really is just down to better coverage, but if it's a city, it's almost always covered well by all 3 providers. > I even asked a few strangers what network they use and how come they have reception However this is selection bias, you may actually have switched to a less popular network (which is better), or it could be coverage, it's hard to tell. The funny thing is that you can see how over time pe…
To add, if you want to try O2, there's GiffGaff/TescoMobile and if you want to try EE there's 1pm Mobile and EE offers PAYG sims as well.
I have 5g internet at home, tested every network and EE was miles faster than anyone else even though I live close to all the towers. I did find that going on a contract was alot cheaper than PAYG, and it's the only way to get unlimited data on EE. Still it's £30/month which is cheaper than what Voxi is offering.
With the wifi on the tube, the EE one works alot better than Three who goes through the Virgin wifi network. EE installs a profile so it auto connects quite reliably when you stop at stations.
Slightly off topic, but I was with Three UK for a while. Reception was universally terrible, and trying to use mobile data was a joke. This was in a small urban centre... called London. Would never, ever touch them again. Back on topic, it seems that they are not using Bluecoat/Symantec Site review (which I suspect other providers do), which has the domain categorised correctly: https://sitereview.bluecoat.com/#/look…
I did use Three for a while as a Mifi device at home and on the train when we moved back to the UK after we had our first baby back in 2011. As new clueless parents (who thought we were prepared but god no) I spent a lot of time researching English and Norwegian sites on breastfeeding and other baby matters. And so many sites was blocked by Three. So frustrating when these were big mainstream baby and health sites bu…

On phone I have EE MVNO and without VPN I get blocked pr0n, but not much else. Yes they wanted proof of ID despite having my Direct Debit details.
Personal note: But if you were to migrate to UK, probably not a good time this decade, the cost of living is hitting here hard, post-Brexit shambles are annoying and the compensation is not worth it anymore IMHO. Just the music scene is unbeatable, hence staying.
