Three UK

Extra time? Whether it comes home or not we are giving the team an extra hour at home on Monday. Our stores in England will, therefore, be open a little later at 10am.

England fans were busy celebrating Ollie Watkins’ late winner last night, and our network was just as busy both in the UK and abroad, supporting people watching the game. 👐 Our network had a peak of 1.9 Tbps during the game, with ITV traffic increasing more than five-fold during the match, accounting for a third of all network traffic. ⬆ The data volume carried on ITV alone during the game is the equivalent of streaming "Three Lions" 144 million times! 🦁🦁🦁 X saw the highest uplift in during an England game this tournament (133% vs. normal) as people shared the moment online. Sunday nights are one of the busiest times on our network, so who thinks it will be even busier during Sunday's final? #ItsComingHome

We’re back with the next instalment in our ‘Connect with Music’ series and this time, we’re talking to the legendary Rick Astley 🎤. As the #OfficialConnectivityPartner for some of the UK’s biggest and most iconic music festivals, we’re bringing fans closer to the artists they love with exclusive content. Our host, Rio Fredrika, sits down with Rick at his London pub, The Mikkeler, to talk about his experience of playing at festivals, how he chooses his covers and how he feels about other artists covering his work. We even see him play one of his classics! 🤩 If you’re loving this series, check out our social channels where you can catch our new ‘Connect with Shorts’ series where we talk all things music on-site with festival artists! #ConnectWithMusic #RickAstley

Sunday’s #EURO2024 England vs Slovakia match surpassed our previous data peak in the tournament so far with 20 X more traffic for ITV than normal for a Sunday afternoon 🎉 Our data-hungry customers drove a peak of 1.8Tbps during the match … the volume used on ITV alone during the 2.5 hour match was the equivalent of streaming on HD for 109,000 hours 💥 And ITV took the crown as the top app used on our network during the match, an accolade that usually goes to YouTube 👑 Those on holiday didn’t miss out on the action either, with customers roaming in France, Spain & Italy coming out as the top 3 data users on Sunday. What peaks will we achieve this Saturday when England takes on Switzerland? Watch this space 👀 Amidst the excitement, there's also an important conversation to be had - one that goes beyond football. Following our latest campaign, #TalkMoreThanFootball, a staggering 91% of football fans would open up to a friend or family member after seeing our video. This isn't just about the game; it's about using football as a bridge for meaningful conversations with those we care about. #ThreeUK #EURO2024

On June 12, we celebrated Discovery Day marking 10 years of powering up possibilities. The event brought together our people and the local community for a day filled with creativity and connection. We welcomed 27 enthusiastic students from Green Park (Reading) Village Primary Academy in #rdguk who participated in a fun #stopmotion workshop. Their energy and creativity were truly inspiring, and it was great to see their animated projects come to life. It was also amazing to see over 300 of our people learn more about Discovery, share their digital skills, and explore the process of creating stop-motion videos. #digitalskills
