Amazed at the speed in the town centre near me

I can remember dial up of 2mb beating phones hands down.

Depends on the network, download speeds are normally good but upload uses 4G

Nothing like the 1gig speeds we were promised.

I get 300 download on EE 4G yet I’ve never seen over 250 on o2 5G.

I see about 800ish in Birmingham city centre but most places outside of that I see 150-200 routinely, some places a bit more if I’m right by the antenna.

I'm on EE and can normally achieve around 300-400Mbps down and 40-60Mbps up. Hopefully EE will put up another 5G mast in the area, as I'm close to the edge of the 5G signal.

I find that unless I’m in Liverpool and Manchester City centre that my 4G speeds usually surpass the 5G speeds.

I’ve seen around 800mb in Manchester on 5G, but equally I've sent 375mb on 4G.

I think I get around 200 in Edinburgh where I am just now, which is 3 to 4 times what is available on Virgin cable. When hooked up to my mesh though on a mobile 5g router it still struggles to stream things like iPlayer or URC Rugby for reasons I don't understand, while the ludicrously expensive cable service is fine doing that.

From memory working in west end of Aberdeen a couple of months back I was getting 150 or so.

My house in the sticks. 5G on phone vs 4G broadband. Might see if I can upgrade the 4G broadband.

Live in a village for 5000 people not far from Leeds.

I have 3g. frown

Local council keep refusing to allow a cell on the large village hall.
