Strong 4g Signal - Poor Download Speeds
How do you check the coverage Davlon?
All the online coverage checkers are based on computer models, which rely on making numerous assumptions to create the models. This means that predicted coverage at any given location is sometimes different to actual coverage at the given location.
BT Mobile use EE's network, and it's generally true to say this network has more features and functionality than other UK networks. There's a clear price premium for this though.
Hi Chalkychap - I just used the basic Smarty coverage checker and signalchecker.co.uk. The advantage of 3 is you can test without entering into a 2 year contract - so I’m happy however it goes. What I can’t get my head around is the major speed performance for ‘upload’, my last test was 0.6 download 17.8m upload… it kinda speaks to a congestion problem as download is utilised more, so my good signal is reflected by the good upload results??
