EE 4G speeds

Super Tigers · 9 Mar 2013 at 18:42

I have just picked my Huawei E589 wifi modem today and have just got it setup. Did a quick speedtest, my signal ranges from 2 to 3 bars.

What speeds do other people get?

Thats pretty impresive for a dongle

Better than my phone line connection too

Seem to be holding the 4G connection ok and not dropping back to HSPA, I am going to try it upstairs later to see if I can get a stronger connection. I did the EE postcode checker test before getting it and it said I was in a strong 3 bar area. So the EE coverage map seems to be telling the truth.

Good one

This is fairly decent for LTE, you get around this pretty constantly in my hometown.

I was really surprised when our city was chosen as a launch city for EE, but the network seems pretty solid. I would be interested to see what a full signal gives depending on contention.

On a side note just got the E589 unlocked for all networks, bought code off Ebay for £1.09 and it worked!

how much bandwidth do you get and what do you have to pay for it?

can't get 4G where i am, just curious.

£15.99 for 3GB per month, it will be used with my Ipad mini. I've got the first month free of charge.

In the centre on Manchester I have had just over 20Mbps download and 25Mbps upload on my Note 2.

I find the speeds vary a lot, this is the best ive seen so far with my S3 LTE

I get 14MB on mine.... 3G as well. Don't see the need for 4G ATM with 3G speeds like that :cool:

I occasionally see 3G speeds up to 12-14 Mbps from my 3 mifi, but I didn't get EE for the 4G I got it for the call quality, it just happened to have a 4G data bundle.

I am getting 20mbps down and 4up with a 60ms ping!...didn't realise you could actually get HSDPA that fast! I am on 3 network

If that's what can be expected from 4G at average signal, then I'm looking forward to 3 getting it, though I can get this at home right now:
