just dumped mine and gone ee 4g £20 a month unlimited data
Where did you get your ee deal from.We have Three with unlimited data but at times it is dreadful. Have ee on my phone which is fantastic in my area.

Networks are bloody law unto themselves! Three certainly choke my data when it suits them... if I am oversea after a modest amount of "unlimited" roaming use my connection gets strangled to death for the rest of the week. :cautious: Strangely I find 3G at home to be far better than 4G anywhere in central London. :scratchhead: I think you may find SIMs contracted for use in handsets may have different connectivity rules applied to them than sims specifically purchased for 4G router use....?

Even at the lower end your test sounds a lot better than our 3.5mb copper....!

Well there is a way to check it but it won't be a 100% clean check. You can connect your iphone to your laptop or PC and make him a portable hotspot. Your phone will transfer internet data to your pc or laptop and then you can access speedtest.net

4G on a mast on the chimney here. EE contract.

Speed varies greatly and in Summer when there are a lot of tourists around it can throttle down to 3 or 4mbps at peak times, which is hardly better than BT broadband at 2 and a bit mbps.

Lately it has been generally good and between 25 and a high of 56mbps download and mid 20’s upload. When the signal is being throttled I can tell because the upload stays up between 16 and 25 while the more important download speed drops way down. There are times when the ping response is terribly slow, up in the 40’s.

In fact I’ve just done a speed test and the ping is just over 40ms and the speed is a reasonable 33mbps and upload 24.3

In summary, 4G can vary greatly from day to day and hour to hour in some areas of the country. I’ve also had a few outages over the two years I’ve had it and there were times when it was either BT or EE4G working and they seemed to alternate. Was glad then that I had a backup system for both. Luckily I never had both down together.

Good to see an EE Figure elsewhere.

Well it was the phone software. Apple replaced the handset after a visit to their nearest Genius Bar because the faulty handset wouldn’t take the software properly 🤷🏻‍♂️. So all working now
