Terribly low download (and upload) speeds. Please help.
Hi thanks for the replies.
I do currently have a phone and monthly plan with 3 (three.co.uk) for my main mobile phone, and at home I get about 13-17 Mbps download speed on average when I do the speedtest.
With Smarty data sim in my iPad, from the same place where I speed tested my phone, I get only about 3.5 Mbps on average. I think I have only seen it hit 7 Mbps once (on the very first day of my use).
I don't quite understand why this discrepancy though, given both seemingly using three for their services.
Phones and iPad antennas built into the device make a huge difference with connection issues from the mobile phone network. The processor in either device plays a big part as well. this might be the issue. You could use a signal strength app to see in you premise where the best signal strength is.
