EE need some proper competition in rural areas to drive prices down. I think at the mo only VOD can offer it.”
If they roll 4g out in towns and rural areas where you are Steve as they have around these parts then they tend to do the smaller masts first missing out the latter ones, can't work out if it's a deliberate strategy or just backhaul delays, they've activated several smaller sites around some towns here when the one main site could cover it all and then some, maybe it's because it would get swamped.
Nearest 4g mast to me peaks out in the high 40's, the one that serves me at home peak out at 20 but that is over 8 miles away in Crewe.
Fastest Vodafone speed I've seen was in manchester over Christmas, Mid to high 60s
Struggled somewhat over new year with speeds down sub 2meg.
Hope they start lighting up some rural masts early on this year, EE need some competition that's for sure
