Download Speed...Mbs

As JJP2 and others on the forum have mentioned in various posts - it it always advisable to do a test run of the host network using a PAYG SIM card in order to check the coverage level and suitability. This goes for *any* time you move to a new network; that way you'll know what the service will be like in the areas that you visit and stay when you commit to a 30 day plan for real.
Having said that, if you haven't contacted the webchat to look into this, you may want to check your coverage/ network status by entering your postcode into the Three checker here. This won't indicate speeds but should be able to tell if there are maybe any issues impacting the signal/service in your area.
Moreover, 30 day plans are flexible so it's easy to port out and move onto another network if its not working out for you.
P.S I recorded a download speed of 290Mbps yesterday evening on the way to my local McDonald's
I have same issue. Brothers samsung phone on smarty is over 80mb. I am only getting 0.7 on my POCCO phone. We are testing at same location. Note I get over 80mb on Giffgaff so it's not a phone or mast issue.
