Might be go blue for 3G and green for 4G. Speeds on 3G likely to be slow these days.

Thanks for the info.

Must be getting 5G with a Vodafone SIM then, which is odd given that I saw else where that Three were now part of Vodafone.

Any idea why my speedtests are no longer being added to my list on TBB? The last seems to be this January although just done another one - https://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest/16897236224...

Still don't understand why down is OK but up is about a third of what it should be. Surely if WiFi were the problem, both up and down would be low? The router is a WiFi router after all and TBB say the test can be carried out on a range of devices bith wired and wireless.

Just because they can?

I thought 40/10 and 80/20 were the only options?

I am sure they didn't offer anything below 80/20 when I last checked.

Vodafone isn't part with Three yet as the merger haven't approved yet.

Very odd. Then the Vodafone SIM shouldn't work at all, as the router is meant to be locked?

Will have to try a Lycamobile one. Are they part of EE now? And didn't I read that EE were part of BT now?

I am not sure any of us can make it any more clearer but I will try one last time.

Broadband speed tests while connecting a via wireless connection (between a device and the router) are pretty much pointless so posting them here really isn't helping, if anything it causes more confusion. If you want to have a good indication of your broadband speed you must connect via a wired connection (between a device and the router).

I can't talk for others but I am strongly predicting that the chances of you having an issue with the FTTP has massively reduced now and Vodafone may have been right all along.

I hope by stepping back in yesterday we have made progress which I believe we have but due to the challenging nature of this thread I am stepping away again.

How about changing one thing at a time?

It seems you've recently tested a 3 SIM, a Vodafone SIM, an iPad, an iPhone, TBB speedtest and the BTW speedtest with no clarity on what with what?

- Your Vodafone FTTP BQM looks fine. The link you shared was just for yesterday, so results after midnight aren't visible
- An iPhone testing with the BTW speedtest (on your FTTP connection?) gives a good result

It still looks to me that the problems centre round your iPad and not FTTP, but it's almost impossible to follow your testing methodology to be sure...
