"About TrafficSense™.
We’re the network designed for data. We’ve spent millions over the years strengthening our network, covering over 97% of the population. We already carry over 40% of the UK’s mobile data traffic – and more people join Three every day, because they know that we’re the experts when it comes to the mobile internet.
Our core belief is that everybody deserves to have the best possible experience using a fair share of our network.
That’s why we’ve invested heavily in our network’s capacity, buying the radio spectrum and building the infrastructure we need to make it great for data. But it’s a fact that no mobile operator has an unlimited amount of network capacity, so while we’ll continue to invest, we also have a responsibility to make sure the network we already have is used wisely.
Part of this involves making sure that everyone gets a fair allocation. A mobile data network is a shared resource, so if a small percentage of users are using the network in a way that stops the majority of users getting a fair share, we’ll manage data traffic to make sure that those small percentages of users get the best possible experience without affecting others’ enjoyment.
We call this intelligent management of our network TrafficSense™.
What is TrafficSense™?
TrafficSense™ looks at types of data traffic and behaviour that stop other users from enjoying a fair allocation of our network. TrafficSense™ will only manage a very small percentage of users on our network – and the vast majority will actually benefit from higher speeds and a better internet experience.
TrafficSense™ identifies:
File sharing.
Between 3pm and 12 midnight, we allocate a proportional amount of our network to file sharing, so that all other types of traffic can make the most of it as well.
We don’t block file sharing. We just manage it at times when it affects the enjoyment of most other users using our network to do other things, such as browsing.
Tethering.
Tethering is connecting another device like a laptop to your phone to access the internet.
A small number of users try to tether outside of their terms and conditions. When this happens, TrafficSense™ either blocks their tethering completely or restricts it to a very small allocation of our network.
High data use.
5% of the highest users actually take up around 60% of the Three network capacity, which inevitably affects the way others can use it.
TrafficSense™ regularly identifies users in the top 5% highest data users each month and allocates bandwidth on a proportional basis for the following seven days. This makes sure the remaining 95% of users also get fair access and the best possible internet experience."
Totally different from their motto of the customer not having to worry about their data consumption.
