    Agreed 7mb upload is too fast for even dc-HSPDA

    The highest upload i get on my Xperia T (on Three's network) when connected to DC-HSDPA is about 3 mbit/s. 7mbit/s upload is a bit too fast for a mobile connection (excluding LTE).

    Most of the time I get less the 2Mbps in most places around London. If I'm lucky I'll get upto 7. Most of the time around Liverpool I get more near the 7 mark. HTC One X on Orange. Hoping if I get a DC-HSPA phone next I'll see more consistent speeds. Especially once the EE upgrades are finished in London.

    wow, you must have been stood right next to a mast. Pretty impressive speed.

    This is EE 4G so to be expected on a lightly loaded cell in the morning.

    Interesting to see what other people achieved around the world by changing the number in the URL ;)

    Three DC-HSDPA in South Wales. Mast serving my area is congested at the moment making the speeds a little low. Three say it's due a capacity upgrade later this month. Speed isn't too bad, but could be better.

    On payg on Three in Aberdeen yesterday!

    There is a brand new transmitter near the beach. (Back of Asda/DW sports) on top of the new Warehouse near there. DC-HSDPA'd so should be pretty fast with 3 & EE, I'm yet to try it.

    Top right hand side of the image shows the Wifi symbol.

    If I have WiFi on my phone turned on, even if I'm out of range, it still shows as a WiFi speed test. Noticed that the other day. I'm on a farm out in the sticks, if my ADSL was anywhere near that quick I'd be a happy man! The upload looks too fast to me too, a couple of tests afterwards yielded high 3s and low 4s, with similar downstream.

    DC finally arrived in rural Devon. Since Friday, most masts between Plymouth and Exeter on the A38 now enabled.
    My mast (which covers a vast area including a town) now doing 20Mbps sometimes. Next mast down got 24.5Mbps on Saturday.
    Two more Orange EDGE (very rural) masts now 3Gd. Still crap backhaul though.
    My brother now has an iPhone 5 on Three and can confirm DC also.
    I'm still here... Occasionally!

    Coverage on Three has also apparently been improved in North Devon (based on what my friend has said), and DC has been enabled in the Bath area too (Sadly I don't have DC device to test speeds).
    Nice to see you still around btw :).

    Thank you. Won't be around much while I sort my life out but still here. Yes, a lot of Orange masts in Devon are now being integrated into the MBNL network. This has the side effect of turning these into Three masts where three previously didn't have coverage.
    What I thought would happen is actually happening in that while a lot of urban Orange masts are being decommissioned, most of the rural ones are being upgraded and integrated.

    Devon it's quite impressive to see that your area of the UK is rapidly becoming more and more purple (3G) than the red.. Seeing how rural parts of it are.

    Speeds continue to be appalling where I live. Here's a test I just ran in Bolton town centre. And to think I moaned about the Full Monty speed cap. Chance would be a fine thing.

    Right in the town centre near the town hall. And yeah, it was this morning.

    I would report that to the network, all the evidence I can find suggests you should be seeing speeds much faster than that.

    Try using the Preston server in the app.

    I'll do another outdoor test later using the Preston server, and report back.

    Obviously 4G. Don't think most people are posting 4G on here. It was more for 3G speeds from what I can gather as no 3G will match that or most other 4G tests carried out.

    Still, nice speeds though :)
