No signal from new flat- Three

Hello Everyone,

I am wondering if you can help. I am moving from South London to West London and currently have a contract with Three. I have am a year into a two year contract. The signal is iffy at the best of times, especially where I currently live in South London but I deal with it.

I recently found a flat in West London that I plan to move to within the next month or so. I have viewed the flat a few times and every time I visit I get zero reception.

Do you think I have any rights to cancel the contract because of this?

Many thanks for your help!

    No rights without paying the remaining term off. I'm sure Three and others will recommend the InTouch app.

    They also provide a home signal box

    Think its free (if you meet the criteria) but cant confirm, you need a broadband connection to use it though

    Why did you enter into a contract with Three that was longer than the periodic for which you intended (or committed) to stay at your current address? Three offers 1-month contracts; there's no need to commit for 2 years.

    Not unless you can prove Three forced you to move to an area of no signal, otherwise it's totally your responsibility.

    Not if you're buying a new phone as well

    The answer to this is quite obvious. This post is quite patronising and also unhelpful IMO.

    Odd thoughts in my head now, of the purple puppet from the TV ads, holding Suzanna22 at gunpoint, and telling her to move house or else.

    No, you have to rights to cancel without paying an ETC whatsoever-no provider offers universal coverage. What you might negotiate is a different matter, but with 3, I wouldn't get your hopes up.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
