There's nothing worse than religiously checking the delivery tracker and seeing it stuck at the same number for (what feels like) ages. My tracker has been on delivery 33 for ages. >.<

Depends where you are I think, Three have been getting a hammering on here for slow data rates in city centres / anywhere there are a lot of people contending for the network. Have you used them before / know anyone else nearby who has and can tell you how they've found it?

Anyone picked up at Braehead, and know what stock was like? Can’t make Metrocentre today, but going to Glasgow later.
Was at Braehead this morning. Phones were ok, but watches are extremely limited in stock. No SG or Gold Milanese 44mm watches to be had.

I left at 08:30 and the queues were being to build up thou

Are you inside? Outside? 4G? 3G? So many variables at play here. I used to get around 50-60mbps through 4G on Three last year when outdoor, dropped to around 20-30 when inside but I was in an old Victorian terrace with thick walls.

How is the network coverage and service status in your area? Mine says it's very good for Three, but I remember when I was previously with them it wasn't uncommon for my 4G to regularly drop or be very sluggish.

In London I do travel to Manchester on meetings I might just cancel not paying for 24 months for 0.03mb speeds
Will be reordering on EE 3uk network word of warning avoid cancel asap.

Well my dpd delivery has now changed from delivery today between 6-2200 to Monday 24. Useless but at least as I’d cancelled it last Sunday I’m now less likely to open and keep it

Don't worry guys. Apple have finally processed my cancellation hence the parcel got as far as the depot and is now on the way back:)

Probably a good thing as I would have very likely kept it. My X probably has another year in it though :p
