Would need to know more detailed location info to answer.

It was done at 19:30, and indoors. Does that make a significant difference? It did to O2 3G and HSDPA.

Just done a speedtest.net one and got 33.41/7.61/64ms. Haven't managed yet to get a link to it. (This is on the phone, not tethered to a computer).

you doing phone TBB tests in browser, or is there an app?

ok in browser good for 9pm?

Being indoors should not make too much difference 1800mhz is not too bad at indoor prop. All 3G (generally) is on 2100mhz and that tends not to make it indoor very well...

Based on where I think you are (I think) in Greater Manchester i'd expect an overlay on the 4G network of 2600mhz to provide additional capacity uplift.

I keep forgetting to try a mile away, in an M & S car park. On HSDPA+ (?) there I would get 4Mbps+, whereas outside at home it was nowhere near that. Sometimes wouldn't even manage 3G.

I'm not over-fussed. It's mainly interest about how good it is. Mobile Data use is mostly for very occasional SatNav or similar. If I hadn't got a good plan to get 4G I could have stuck with 3G. But I decided I was ditching O2 because of poor phone coverage where I often go on holiday, and including sometimes dodgy at home. I used to have Orange and never had a problem .

Paul - do you see the overlay being national eventually, or is this a high population area overlay only?

Can only confirm high population areas currently but of course EE review this often based on network usage.

Thanks makes sense.

Is 2600Mhz running in Birmingham now on EE?

I believe it is on Vodafone now.
