Is anyone here signed up and using this yet?

The most revealing thing about this article is that uploading reverts to 4G. I dunno if that's a temporary measure but uploading has always been the biggest grind for me.

Since I'm in the sticks I expect 5G somewhere around 2030, if ever.

We don't have 5g in Lincoln and my phone isn't 5g, so not likely to be benefitting for a while yet.

4g works well enough for 2k as FHD content most of the time though.

It'd be nice to get good signal strength on 3G, let alone 4G or 5G.

If they could nail 3G nationally that would be something! 4G would be a dream, 5G, it’s just marketing nonsense!

On EE and they can’t even give me phone signal inside my house, asking me to use WiFi instead laugh

Pfft, get get a signal at all at home. Have to drive at least a mile or two before it becomes reliable.

Village has around 1300 residents, so it's hardly a tiny hamlet....

This is so true, the service I get is mixed at best. Notably drops off in my local city. It’s a disgrace really for what people pay.
