Interesting: thanks.

New (meaningless?) speedtest on Plusnet 80/20 FTTP v Wi-Fi on iPad - https://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest/16919933852...

V Wi-Fi on iPhone - https://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest/16919939505...

So your new broadband service with PlusNet has gone live this morning, are you now using their router rather than the Vodafone one?

Just found an old iPad 3 (A1416) and run the TBB HTTP speed test (the iPad is so old it isn't even loading the normal speed checker - it's only running iOS 9 and no updates available).

On the iPad I got 28.4 down and 11.6 up (on a 500Mb OpenReach FTTP package).

On my iPhone in the same location I got 143 down and 70.2 up.

So, the iPad not running as well as the iPhone but it is getting more upstream than your ISP link would be capable of so if yours has the same WiFi hardware as the iPad 3 (can't remember if you said what model iPad you had) then it seems it is capable of more than you are getting at the base WiFi level.

The Apple page doesn't load on my iPad which is rather ironic! I'll look later on another device.

No idea on the iPhone, but is still getting updates"

Yes, the iPads both have cameras.

Yes and yes.

I couldn't find where to change my username and password on the THG.

All very odd.

I just think I'll get a basic tablet. Certainly not worth getting another iPad. They have been good, but with things more than two years old being old relics I can probably get several tablets for the price of an iPad.

I'd love to hear why you think a two year old iPad is an "old relic" ?

Unless you get an Amazon Fire tablet, they're all pretty expensive now. Check out the OnePlus tablet, or the Pixel tablets, both released in the last 6 months. (The YouTuber MKBHD reviewed them recently).

My iPad Pro 11" is 3 years old by the way. I bought mine as a second hand from CEX when it was 8 months old. Worth looking in CEX stores near you as they give warranty.

I gave up on Android when an update killed my (expensive) Asus Nexus.

Thanks: I'll check them out.

Technology moves so fast!

Anything over two years old is, it would appear, out of date.
