Yep, if you are the Full Monty on T-Mobile you won't ever get more than 4Mbps but who cares as that gets you full HD on YouTube or the BBC iPlayer.
There are a lot of folks on here who kid the life out of others about mobile broadband speeds.
What you get relating to what you use it for is important. 4Mbps on a handset for video streaming is perfect. 25-80Mbps is irrelevant if you get buffer free streaming with 4Mbps!
I got a text inviting me to join EE and get much faster speed.... but I thought .... what for? I get all I need from what they provide now without the savage limits and extortionate data pricing.
